2.0 out of 5 stars
I was very disappointed,
By
This review is from: R-C Airplane Building Techniques (Master Modeler Series) (Paperback)
What I expected was a step-by-step book that got into the basics of building model aircraft. What I got was a collection of articles, some of them old, from Model Airplane News magazine. The articles are tips, organized by chapter on various topics, like "wing building," "building tools," etc.While some of the tips were useful, I think the title is misleading. Many of the articles weren't building techniques at all. And I was disappointed after reading it that I still didn't have a good feel as to what it takes to build a quality model airplane. Its an ok book for some of the tips, but don't buy it expecting a "how-to" book on building a model airplane.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good reference for your R/C aircraft library,
By Gary Hamilton (Cedar Rapids, IA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: R-C Airplane Building Techniques (Master Modeler Series) (Paperback)
The book is well organized and very easy to follow. The author has included lots of pictures to illustrate the numerous building techniques ranging from general construction (ribs, spars, jigs, tips & tricks, tools) to construction techniques focused on gas and electrical models. I'm a little dissapointed in the black-and-white only pictures but very satisfied with the clarity of the instructions. It's obvious that the author has many years of modeling experience, as I hope to have eventually. I would like to see a new edition with color pictures that feature more great building techniques. In the meantime, this book should be a part of any R/C aircraft modeler's library.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: R-C Airplane Building Techniques (Master Modeler Series) (Paperback)
I got this book a while back and just re-read it to update myself. It is very informative and I've gotten a good deal of essential information from it.
It covers a wide range of subjects, from general construction, engines, to electronics and some very useful tools you can make, etc. An excellent reference book you will use regularly.
