Double Take: Zurich International Prescription XG Lenses
rewarded myself when I piloted an airplane solo for the first
time, by splurging on a cool set of sunglasses. I wore contacts then, so
what I bought was an image: “I’m an aircraft pilot.”
I stuck with prescription sunglasses later but never got that look
back, which was fine. My priority became the ability to see my models.
I had gotten into precision aerobatics, and the ability to tell what the
airplane was doing helped both as a pilot and a judge.
Zurich International offers great antiglare and eye-protection
Park View: Maxford USA Albatros D.III and Hughes H-1 ARFs
MAXFORD USA hAS a history of bringing to market seldommodeled
subjects as ARFs. These airplanes have repeatedly featured
two things: a high value for the dollar and great flying
characteristics.

JR Indoor Electric Festival-2007/04
The winter 2006/2007 indoor season opens with this RC flying party
e-fest Electric Festival - 2006/06
EVERY HOBBYIST OWES it to himself or herself to go to at
least one fun-fly a year. If you can commit to only one, I highly
recommend that you consider going to a different one each year.
You never know who you might meet or what events might be in
store.
Swashplate: Compass Model Atom 500E/CF ARF - 2009/12
THE NUMBER IN the helicopter’s name
threw me at first. After several learning and
fun seasons with 450-class machines, the
Atom 500 came along. My expectation
regarding the size difference was that the
increase would be minor; helicopters are
named based on either the motor or the
blade size it uses.
