Customer Reviews
A wealth of information
This book has alot of information for those starting in R/C planes. I thought it was well worth the cost and would reccomend it to anyone starting in R/C planes. Although it is excellent for beginners it also has information that anyone can use such as how to properly set up a bi-plane.
Basic but out of date
This book was published in the mid-1990s and is a collection of articles from Model Airplane News from the previous several years. As such, it's woefully out of date.
While this is an adequate basic book, if you're new to radio control aircraft, buy one of the many newer books on the market. Much, much, much has changed in the past 2-3 years, particularly related to electric motor flight, foam models (as opposed to balsa and ply), ready-to-fly (everything in one box--airplane, transmitter, onboard electronics, and only 30 minutes assembly time), newer stabilizing and control surfaces (winglets on sailplanes and wing droops to prevent tip stalls on powered trainers, for example), microelectronics, computer radios (transmitters), quantum leaps in battery technology (lithium polymer), etc.
The field has changed and this book is too far out of date.
Old News
Like the other say it's way outdated. It's time for a rewrite and edit to update the entire edition.
