GEAR GUIDE
P
lanning any successful mission requires two
things: reliable intel and the right equipment. That
equipment includes the aircraft and flight gear, of
course, but also the ground support for that aircraft
plus any tools and supplies so that you’re prepared
to handle unexpected complications. When it comes
to RC equipment, there are a lot of products to choose from—making
informed choices about which are appropriate to your individual
mission goals is where the intel part comes in—and that’s where
Model Airplane News excels. Consider the annual Gear Guide on the
following pages as your own personal intelligence briefing on many
of the newest, best, and most interesting products in the realm of
RC. We break down the key features and prices, and let you know how
and where to acquire the gear that fits your specific mission profile,
whatever it may be. OK, enough preamble—let’s start the briefing!MISSION-CRITICAL PLANES AND PRODUCTS
