4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for the beginner, 11 Nov 2000

By A Customer

This is an excellent book for someone new to radio controlled gliders. Good advice on all aspects the newcomer will need to consider with just enough information on more advanced gliders and flying techniques. The book is well illustrated with clear drawings and monochrome photographs. The only thing lacking is a section on EPP foam gliders now available to beginners.

I wish this book had been available when I started !

Steve Gale.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book well worth buying, 5 Feb 2004

By	"williamhking" - See all my reviews

I used to fly model aircraft over 30 years ago (silent freeflight, ic freeflight, control line,ic rc) and have just recently decided to start again, this time with my 12 year old son. As it is a long time since I built a plane I decided to buy this book to get an insight into what things are like today - and am I glad that I did. I found this to be an excellent book, well worth the price. It was informative, easy to follow and told me most of what I needed to know not only on how to fly gliders but how to build them as well. The build details are based on a traditional balsa approach but there are few details on the other, modern, construction methods (foam etc.). If you don't buy any other book buy this one, especially if you choose to build your own models.

5.0 out of 5 stars superb beginners guide, 5 Sep 2008

By	Mr. Ap Whalley (uk) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

want to get into it properly?..read this first BEFORE you spend money in a model shop.

good information for the beginner and explains how slope soaring and thermal gliders work, and how to build, test, launch, fly and land a model glider.
