A comprehensive guide to aircraft modelling which covers everything
from the basic principles to making your first flying model through
to advanced scale construction models. The key to the book is the
extraordinary thoroughness of its scope and content, from the
step-by-step instructions to the detailed scaled plans and
illustrations. Even the 'summary of contents' is five A4 pages long
showing at-a-glance what there is to learn and how to get
additional information and practice! The book covers your first
flying model, what materials and tools are needed, marking and
cutting, designing your own plane, construction drawing, enlarging
plans and building models. It explains the simple rules of flight,
building a glider with control surfaces, building a 'progressive'
trainer, choosing radio control, how to handle your first flight,
preflight checks, flight debriefing, adding an engine, engine
management, engine tuning, powered flight and adding wheels. Flying
instructions include taxiing, takeoff, landing, basic flight
manoeuvres, turning, figure of eight, flying in a wind, dead stick
landing, loop and roll. Modelling techniques covered include
working with polystyrene, moulding in fibreglass, vacuum forming,
finishing and fitting out, installing large engines, registration
of plans and much, much more...
