Here's an item or two from the latest catalogues, magazine advertising or websites  - not  necessarily all new products on the market, but items large and small that will be of interest.  If you contact any supplier as a result of reading this page, please be sure to mention ModelFlight.

I rather like the look of this plane from Hobby Lobby. It's the Senior Telemaster, with a 95" wingspan (almost 8 feet!), 1330 sq. in. wing area, 320 sq. in. lifting stab area and an overall length of 63". It is of ultra light balsa construction and is for four channels and ·40 to ·60 engines. A fifth channel could be used to make the ailerons also function as flaps (flaperons). With flaperons they say it nearly hovers into landings! It is so lightweight that Hobby Lobby state that it flies beautifully with a ·45 engine.

The Senior Telemaster is priced at $129 but is currently on offer from Hobby Lobby at $109.

Ideal for r/c parachute dropping, apparently - see site seeing
