Product Description
Product Description
Flying radio-controlled model aircraft is one of the most enjoyable and absorbing hobbies that there is. It combines the fun of building and maintaining a real miniature aircraft with the challenge of flying it just like the real thing, and keeping the appropriate distance between the aircraft and the ground at all times! But the early stages of the hobby can be a steep learning curve, and it is all too easy to be put off by early mishaps.
About the Author
Colin Bedson has been flying radio-controlled aircraft for some years. Previously resident in Leicestershire, he now lives and works in Spain.

Format:Paperback
I had had a trial lesson at my local club and wanted for find out some more about how the controls worked before my next lesson. This book was perfect. Clearly written with perfect diagrams explaining everything I needed to know. At my next lesson everything was much clearer to me.

Format:Paperback
The book is short and concise, thanks for that. It provides an overview of what the flying model aircraft hobby brings with it. There is also a few pages on how to fly a mode aircraft. They are clear and to the point.
I find that some of the explanations of abbreviations are too many and too superficial.
All in all a good book for the starter.

A good first primer
20 Jun 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The intent of this book is to augment the official training of a club instructor pilot. For that purpose it succeeds rather well. It is a small, short book that covers the basics of both nitro and electric models. It covers basic flight, including takeoffs and landings, and of course safety.
If you are learning on your own it is not a bad book to pick up but you will need to find a lot more information elsewhere.

Flying RC Model Aircraft
19 May 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is excellent -- concise, well illustrated, and obviously written by someone with a lot of experience in both flying and teaching others. Great book for beginners, or even those who are contemplating learning to fly RC.

caution is the word!
25 Feb 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Flying an R/C aircraft for the first time can be likened to learning to drive a motorcar and if you want to minimise the risk of destroying your hard-earned investment in a few seconds then it's wise to learn as much as possible beforehand. This book provided what I wanted to know so I give it a 4 star rating
