Basics of R/C Planes

This book contains basic information on how to get started in RC planes– everything from selecting an airplane to how to maintain and repair it. All the techniques outlined apply to scratch-building and to building with kits, and although aerodynamics is beyond the scope of this book, there are some rule-of-thumb-type calculations you might find useful. Over 80 pages.
