Very Good book.,

This review is from: Getting Started In Radio Control Airplanes (Paperback)
Very useful information. The section on covering was a real lifesaver! It has good info also on basic flight and lots of useful tips to a beginning modeler. I really liked this book.The only reason I didn't give it five stars was I felt it didn't quite cover the topics in quite enough depth. A little more detail and this would be a perfect book. But still very worth the money.

This review is from: Getting Started In Radio Control Airplanes (Paperback)
Yes, this is a great book for the beginner as well as an advanced flyer, because it is packed with a great deal of info. Gerry makes the book very readable and illustrates it well. I've enjoyed reading this book, because Gerry gets detailed without dragging out subjects or boring with too much wordy material. It even has a useful address and website section for extra info and clubs. Thanks for a great resource material. I would highly recommend this book to anyone with intrest in R/C Airplanes...but doesn't know where to look...Well here's your Start. Great Work ! (:

Out of date,
By Cliff The Engineer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Getting Started In Radio Control Airplanes (Paperback)
This was a pretty good book, but the information now is quite dated. LiPo batteries and brushless motors are the standard now, electrics have come a long way.
