Summary: Not bad, but not 5 stars either
Comment: I don't usually write reviews, but I'm gonna have to go against the crowd on this one. I bought this book based on the 5 star reviews and was a little disappointed. Its not a bad book, but most of it is a collection of articles about different types of flying, like combat, sail planes, scales, etc. There's a little info on basic flying and some very limited info on some basic aerobatics, and that's it.

If you're getting started in R/C and looking for some good basic flight instruction, plus some other useful tips, I MUCH preferred "Getting Started in Radio Control Airplanes" by Yarrish. It has as much flight instruction as this one, plus some useful info on model building, covering, etc.

Summary: Superb, concise, useful. An excellent read
Comment: At the time of reading, I was a novice R/C pilot. This book became a reference for me and I read the sections particular to the area I was learning - several times over until it stuck. Sound advice in this book. Take it with to the field and read again before you preflight. It'll pay dividends !
The book touches on a wide spectrum of aspects of the hobby. Each section is short enough to read several times over in one go, yet detailed enough to even serve those who have to go it alone. A thoroughly enjoyable book.

Summary: THE R/C book to read!
Comment: Excellent material. I was into R/C several years ago and was looking for a refresher. This book has it all from basic flying skills (takeoffs and landings) to intermediate skills (dreaded cross winds takeoffs and landings). It also mentions the differences in flying trike gear or tail gear and how to do both effectively and prevent crashes. Multi engines, pylon racing, acrobatics, scale, engine performance are all covered. Gliders and Ducted fan are also covered. Most complete book R/C book I have come accross. Highly recommended for those thinking about R/C, new R/C pilots and those requiring a refresher.
