Gliding with Radio Control by Martin Simons
This is a simple and easily understood guide to radio control glider flying. No prior knowledge of flying, modelling or radio is required and the advice offered will help the complete beginner to avoid frustrating errors and possible subsequent disillusionment. In this book you will find out how to choose your first model, what kind of radio gear to buy, how to set about building the glider, fitting the radio and linking up the controls, where to get help when learning to fly, how to launch your model and make safe landings, how to fly loops, slow rolls, stalls and spins and how to soar over hills and in thermals.
