    Fabio: Motorcycling

    Fabio's legions of female fans probably have a mental image of their hero riding up on a white horse to sweep them off their feet. Chances are, though, that in real life he'd come roaring up on one of his 140-plus motorcycles! He loves to go fast, and the high-powered bikes satisfy the heroic model / actor's need for speed the way no mere horse ever could!



    Javy Lopez: Model Airplanes

    Speaking of models, Atlanta Braves All-Star catcher Javy Lopez loves them -- model airplanes, that is! He's been playing baseball all his life, and he finds flying model airplanes a perfect way to relax from the pressures of athletic competition. Essentially real aircraft, the planes he flies are capable of taking off into the wind just like their full-size counterparts. He's a guy with his feet on the ground -- and his heart in the skies!



    Steve Vai: Beekeeping

    The most daring celebrity hobbyist has to be guitarist Steve Vai, who in his free time pursues his passion for beekeeping! A self- and Internet-trained beekeeper, Vai and his family annually harvest the honey his bees make, then process it and give it to friends -- or auction it off to benefit his charity, Make a Noise (www:vai.com/MANF/ ).

    Model Airplane News magazine

    Web site: www.modelairplanenews.com

    E-mail: man@airage.com

    The only thing that's old about Model Airplane News is the year of its first appearance on the newsstands-1929. Aviation itself was also young. Some of our readers started with rubber-band power; today, they fly everything from tiny, high-tech radio-control backyard ultra-lights to silent gliders, helicopters and even astounding scale, ducted-fan jets at international competitions. Whatever your style, there's a flyer with your name on it.

    The magazine is clearly written and features highly informative product reviews and how-to's produced by modeling and publishing experts and RC industry celebs. That's why it's still here-the worldwide category leader in the hobby.
