Beginner's Guide to Safe and Easy Rc Flying: A Step by Step Guide for Both Student Pilot and Instructor (Rc Performance Series No. 8) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I Came across this book at the library and decided it was time to get my own copy. It focuses on information for the beginner as well as teaching techniques for instructors. It goes very in depth as to what makes a good trainer plane, equipment, and flying practices. This book stresses on-the-ground and in-the-air safety. There are many great pictures and diagrams and the explanations are very clear.

How to Build and Fly Electric Model Aircraft Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you're looking for anything but the most basic information about electric flight, this isn't your book. I had hoped that, since it has an October, 2005 copyright, it would offer in-depth information regarding outrunner motors, Li-Poly options, brushless ESCs, etc. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.
The section on batteries is woefully deficient, especially when he doesn't go into any depth on "C" charging protocols, peak sensing chargers and conditioners, etc. He covers these so lightly that, if I hadn't done reading elsewhere, I'd have been lost. Lots of excellent photos and other eye candy but not much real substance for someone wanting to make decisions.
There's much better information (free) at masportaviator.com and electric-only sites like ezonemag.com
