Product Description

RC Universe

The information in the book is current and accurate. The book contains a wealth of information for a first time or potential helicopter owner; the strange words we often throw around at the field and in the forums are indexed in a glossary in the back of the book.

The length of the book is around 40 pages and the only complaint I could find is that it's not long enough! Oh, and we Americans could use some of the English humor translated in the glossary as well (what is the BMFA??).

Book Description

The book is very concise, at only 48 pages long, but covers everything you need to know to get started in R/C Model Helicopters, including information on the pros and cons of kits and second-hand models, building and maintaining the model and learning how to fly. It assumes no prior knowledge. Despite its comprehensive coverage of the subject, it is written in a very light-hearted style, and Malcolm's infectious enthusiasm for this hobby is sure to get you hooked.

The book covers electric power as well as internal combustion engines. It gives clear guidance on a safe method for learning how to fly, as well as pointing out potential hazards.

By following Malcolm's guidance and expert advice, you will soon be proudly displaying your framed BMFA "A" and `B" flying certificates on your wall.
