4.0 out of 5 stars Good and Basic, October 26, 2005
By William Corsair "Will" (Leavenworth County, KS USA) - See all my reviews
This book is a collection of magazine articles. Fair enough.

However, they're all very short (2-3 pages), well illustrated with photographs, and contain a wealth of basic information. The sections on jigs and assembly techniques alone was worth the price.

I liked it and found it extremely valuable as I got back into building balsa radio control models. I wish I'd had this book years ago before I gave up in disgust because I thought my model-building skills were deficient. While they were deficient, I could have made them more than adequate with the tips from this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Old articles, February 13, 2004
By Robert Owen (Starke, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book hoping to get some conventional instruction
into building a model airplane. I am a building clutz, and can use all the help I can get. What is inside is a collection of old magazine articles, telling how to build parts out of paper, some useful info about some construction, but nothing that I cant read on the internet for free, a wasted $19.95.

4.0 out of 5 stars just what i was looking for, January 6, 2009
My boyfriend really enjoys constructing RC planes & such so when he got this book he was really excited and rarely puts it down. There is a lot of good information for those who like to experiment and improve their designs. I suppose if one was already familiar with making them, this would be a great book for learning more about the skill.
