4.0 out of 5 stars lacks electric flight, 4 Sep 2007

stevez22 "S" (Yorks) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Flying Model Helicopters: From Basics to Competition (Paperback)

Very good. Very thorough. But no coverage of electric flight.
Slightly dated - not much on computer simulators, nothing on 2.4GHz radios.

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Flying Model Helicopters: From Basics to Competition (Paperback)

A book that no model helicopter flyer should be without. It is packed with good advice and even if you are an advanced flyer there is always something to make you stop and think - excellent

BeeGee "Biggles" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Flying Model Helicopters: From Basics to Competition (Paperback)

This is the second copy of this book I have bought. I gave away the last one when I stopped flying model helicopters in 1997. Having now returned to the hobby, I needed reminding of some of the processes and this book is my bible. I strongly recommend it for all you need to know.
