ON THE COVER: Well known for their high quality warbirds, civilian scale and sport models, Kondor Model Products recently added this gorgeous P-47D to their lineup in two color schemes. See page 56 for Jim Onorato’s complete report on this 75-inch
warbird. Inset: The first annual Monster Planes USA fly-in brought together dozens of the largest models in North America. Shown here is Merlyn Graves with his huge KI-100, just one of several large models in his trailer this year. Francis Michael brings you all the excitement of this inaugural event.
