Aircraft Workshop: Learn To Make Models That Fly

Rating:
Summary: Superb book for almost all RC model aircraft builders
Review: This book really shows you page by page how to get the job done. Kelvin Shacklock starts with the basics and takes you page by page through the construction of yet more advanced RC models, finally showing how to build a 1/5 scale Spitfire explaining the different processes as you go. The book is full of illustrations and photographs, so it is very easy to understand the explanations within the text. Personally I read the book while constructing the models using it more as a manual than a theory book. The drawings for the RC models are printed within the book, but I will recommend buying full scale drawings since it can be quite a difficult job enlarging the drawings correctly, although several methods to do so are explained within the book. I recommend this book to all beginners and people who have build a couple of aircrafts and wants to learn some more good building tricks and guidelines. This is the best book on the subject I have read.

Summary: THE BEST BOOK
Review: This is indeed the best book I have found todate on building R/C aircraft models. This targets intelligent beginers and takes them through a progression of increasingly complex models , culminating in a scale spitfire. Unlike most other books this book is information rich and not an advertisment for specific R/C products or the great skills and models of the authors buddies. It does a good job pedagogicall in making the reader think and develop his own skills and ingenuity in the process.
