Not a very good book on model R/C airplanes,
By A Customer
This review is from: Building and Flying Model Aircraft (Dover Craft Books) (Paperback)
I do not recommend this book to anyone who is trying to learn to build or fly R/C airplanes. While the information on the basics of flying is pretty good, but all of the equipment shown is very dated, and the information on available equipment isn't very good either.

Terrible book,
By Matteo Centro (Padova, PD Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Building and Flying Model Aircraft (Dover Craft Books) (Paperback)
The book is like a general introduction to Model Airplanes. It does not focus on anything, I found it of no use at all. The pictures inside are worth seeing: the R/C equipment shown is so old that it's a real fun to see.

Ok model airplane book,
This review is from: Building and Flying Model Aircraft (Dover Craft Books) (Paperback)
The book is very informative and can provide the rank beginner in the hobby with some good start up information. Although the book overall is really outdated it shows the basics of flying really well. The book does show alot of dated equipment one model shown in the book and recomended by the author has been out of production for over ten years and the radio equipment shown is also of the same vintage. I recomend this book to some one getting started or to someone interested in the history of the hobby. It is a ok book overall.
