Editor Kevin Crozier talks through what is included in the March issue of RCM&E.

So, what’s in store in the March issue of RCM&E?

We start with a look at our first Spektrum radio in quite a long while, the feature rich NX8+. Then it’s over to Shaun Garrity (Retro Ramblings) who has built his own new radio cunningly disguised as an expensive Sampey 404 ‘cuddle box’. Next, Roger Styles finds out if 3D printing offers an alternative to traditional methods when building a scale model before Dick van Mourik concludes the build of his Mäxi+ aerobatic model. This month we have an extra free plan for you to enjoy as David Ashby (Just For Fun) breathes new life into David Boddington’s Tribute model of one of Hanno Prettner’s Sandown Show display aircraft.

The second half of this issue begins with Part 2 of Mats Johansson’s article, plus Pro-Plan, for his FE2b biplane. Mike Freeman files an extra report from the 2025 Weston Park show, this time concentrating on hovercraft seen ‘flying’ over the boating lake. Returning to models flying at higher altitudes, Keith Jackson reports from the 2025 F3A World Championships before John Stennard (Insider) covers more indoor modelling topics, plus test flies a small airliner for calm weather outdoors. Finally, Bernd Lewerenz assembles a quick build kit from aero-naut designed to have excellent slow flight characteristics.
