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.

      The book, even though it was published 24 years ago, has the appearance of a new book. It is a high quality hardback book.
