Rubber Powered Model Airplanes: Comprehensive Building and Flying Basics Plus Advanced Design-Your -Own Instruction

Thrilled to finally get the book.However the book is damaged - the pages are frayed (see image).

No plans , no measurements are given in this book. I thought this book will give some measurements and plans for the beginners. But this book has something which u can see nicely in YouTube. I advice e not to waste money in these books . Better watch YouTube videos.

Excellent! Very detailed old school information for everthing you'd like to know qbout building and flying rubber powered model planes, especially in this era where Governments are more and more regulating and criminalising the hobby. This could be the last section of the hobby that doesn't require mandatory tracking of the hobbyists actions.The only criticism is the lack of pictures; there are some but otherwise the descriptions are very text heavy, so this book will probably exclude those who can't concentrate for more than a dozen words before giving up.

It could do with being a larger page book - maybe it was in the first edition as some of the drawings are hard to read. There is a complete absence of theory and a lot of the practical stuff is very cursory . On the other hand there is a lot of sensible advice in it that will save many people from making dangerous mistakes. As a general inro its very good and makes one want to read a lot more detailed stuff.

Great little book if you getting into modle planes .

Book one and two are great reads full of information ,perfect to make successful models,use for reference,must have for your bookshelves.

plenty of sound advice, detail, with practical knowledge to support the beginner from an experienced individual who knows what heis doing
