Synopsis
This comprehensive guide explains the basic concept of radio control and the operating features of key components such as receivers and servos. The author takes you through the main construction stages, from setting up your work area and tool box to essential testing prior to operating. Once you have mastered the basic skills you will be able to start your own model. Choose one of the 15 exciting kits featured in this book, and assembly will be child's play. Ranging from an elegant yacht to an F-1 racing car, the models are accompanied by detailed instructions and step-by-step photographs which illustrate all the techniques needed to build a fully operational model. Invaluable hints on operating your model are given, from the best way to launch a glider, to how to tack and jib and the necessary control stick movements for performing aerobatic maneuvers. A resources section provides valuable information on organizations and the major manufacturers and distributors. Highlighting the fine detailing and realism of today's kits, the superb completed models featured in the gallery sections will inspire you to experiment and explore a wide variety of models.

- v***v (2063)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
