September 2016 RCM&E issue contents preview!

ON THE COVER

Designed and built by Richard Rawle and flown with Steve Holland, this, one of a pair of 30% Stearmans, has been

a show favourite for several years now thanks especially to their animated R/C daredevils. The girls (who have their own website and Facebook page) entertained the large crowd at this year's excellent Cosford large model show and there's a full round-up starting on page 24
