4.0 out of 5 stars Kool Pages!
I'd like to say that this book is an oppurtunity for those who don't know modeling to start and perhaps be a professional. But it's good for the experienced ones cos' it has lots'a challenges for new building experiences...

2.0 out of 5 stars This book is far too old
This book was published in the early 1990s and is a collection of articles from Model Airplane News from the previous several years. As such, it's woefully out of date.

2.0 out of 5 stars This book is far too old, October 24, 2005
This review is from: Radio Control Airplane How-To's: Tips from the Experts (Paperback)
This book was published in the early 1990s and is a collection of articles from Model Airplane News from the previous several years. As such, it's woefully out of date.

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 3-5 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, for example), microelectronics, computer radios (transmitters), quantum leaps in battery technology (lithium polymer), etc.

The field has changed. This book hasn't.
