Summary: Rubber Powered Model Airplanes: Comprehensive?
Comment: Having recently purchased and read Don Ross' RUBBER POWERED MODELS:COMPREHENSIVE BUILDING AND FLYING BASICS, PLUS ADVANCED DESIGN YOUR OWN INSTRUCTION, I have a suggestion to the author and/or publisher.....provide a glossary of definitions to define the many abbreviations that the "veteran" hobbyist use. Since the book is aimed mainly at the "newcomer" that may not understand "OOS" means "Out Of Sight"(for example) he/she may feel that the text is too technical miss the great advice of an experienced modeler. This is not a criticism but a suggestion coming from someone that enjoyed the book, but wondered what a few of the abbreviations meant. I especially liked the chopping tool plan. Thank you for an informative book on a great hobby.

Summary: I'm disappointed.
Comment: This book, as I understand, is for beginners from age 8 to 12, have never had any experience with model aircraft. It teaches how to nail down sticks and putting on glue sort of things. Hardly discuss any theory. Absolutely has nothing to do with modern rubber powered contest model aircraft. It's published in 1998. If change this to 1948 it wouldn't surprise me at all, since it does reflect any development in model aircraft technology in the recent half century.

Summary: Well written, every thing for the beginer to the expert.
Comment: I was pleasantly surprised at the completness of this book. I will be able to use this book in my 9th grade technology class for basic flight information. The advanced information will also be used by the students entering the science olympiad.
