Flying Models

Wonderful little book. Written by a master modeler for modelers in an easy to read and comprehend style. It's a really good read for anyone who has or wants to have enough skill to build and trim their own model planes. Far too many have succumbed to the dumbed down practice if buying someone else's toys these days, it seems. This book will go a long way toward correcting that deficiency.

"Flying Models" by Don Ross

This companion to Don Ross's "Rubber Powered Model Airplanes" covers updated information on flying and building rubber powered models. But best of all it now includes information related to flying the new immensely popular micro models. Micro radio control models powered by electric, CO2, as well as rubber are included in this book. Most everything needed to be successful with small model airplanes is included in this book. Everything from tools, materials and construction to flight trimming is addressed. I would highly recommend this book as well as Don's first book "Rubber Powered Model Airplanes" as two books that most any small model airplane enthusiast should have in their library.
