RC flying eBooks
No, these aren't eBooks that fly, but are a few recommended rc flying related eBooks currently available.
Each contains a lot of good info on their respective topics, and I can personally recommend each one having read each one prior to promoting them. If you do buy any, just don't forget to keep using this website as well...
Beginner's Guide To Flying RC Airplanes, by Yours Truly, covers all the essential 'getting started' information that you need as a newcomer to flying radio control airplanes, and walks you step-by-step all the way from understanding RC systems and airplane controls, to choosing and buying your first rc plane, to your first flights. The book focuses on electric RTF planes but the fundamental topics are good for gas also!
Setup & Tips for 400 Size RC Helicopters, by John Salt, is essential for anyone getting in to electric CP (Collective Pitch) rc helicopters. Focusing on, but not limited to, the E-flite Blade 400, this ebook will take you through the setup process for flying your 3D heli confidently as a trainer, as well as covering many other aspects of electric rc helicopter flying, including those inevitable 'heavy landings'!
120 & 140 Degree Swashplate Setup & Levelling, also by John Salt, follows on from the above eBook and takes you step-by-step to break down the potentially overwhelming procedure of swashplate setup on your 400 size helicopter. Highly recommended!
Getting the most out of your Blade mSR covers all the tips and tricks you need to know to take full advantage of this amazing little heli. Essential reading for anyone who's had one of these for Christmas!
How To Make RC Airplanes, by Carl Baer, is an excellent resource for anyone thinking of building an rc airplane from a kit. The book closely follows the construction of a fairly standard gas trainer from a kit, and is filled with tips, tricks and model building techniques. Modeling bench construction, work area organization and money saving advice is all offered.
I'd recommend this eBook to any aeromodeler, regardless of age and experience.
