Every weekend thousands of people across the world drive to open areas fly their radio-controlled aircraft. This book is designed to give the complete low-down on the hobby to enlighten those who haven't yet taken the plunge, and to further the knowledge of flyers who want to improve, and fly more complicated and exciting airplanes. David Boddington has been flying and writing about radio-controlled aircraft for decades, and he passes on a great deal of accumulated experience in this highly illustrated book. Describing all the major types of aircraft and flying—from indoor electric-powered kites to quarter-full-size multi-engine turbojets—this book is the perfect introduction to this enjoyable hobby.
