Product Description

Product Description

The flying of radio controlled gliders and sailplanes has become a major branch of the aeromodelling hobby over the last 30 years. Today, while traditional slope soaring and tow-launched gliders are as popular as ever, a huge variety of powerless flying models are also available, along with a wide range of plans, kits and accessories. Here the author provides practical advice and information, and explains in a readable and accessible style, how the hobby has developed.

4.0 out of 5 stars take off, 16 Jan 2007
By Mr. J. R. W. Curl (Germany) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Allthough slightly dated this is a very good book for the beginner and intermediate modeller. The information is presented in a simple no nonsense manner. The text is easy to read and more importantly easy to understand. The book covers most aspects of model glider building and flying. It will assist the new modeller in constructing their first glider and the intermediate modellers first attempt at a powered aircraft. In summary a good informative read that will answer many questions for the inexperienced aero modeller.
