With explanations and graphics that break complex processes into simple steps, anyone can become a better builder, flyer, and competitor. This book will lead you from simple tools and techniques right to "state of the art" materials that will enhance your model's appearance and increase its flight time 25% to 40% or even more!
Here are some of the topics covered:
- Electric Power - Charging, assembling, adjusting and flight trimming. Make an electric power model that can convert from rubber power in minutes, right at the field.
- Evolve from a simple, 28 inch span rubber model through competition rubber, free flight electric and finally...Micro R/C.
- New covering materials and techniques that are as light as tissue but stronger and easier to apply
- New scale techniques that can give your model that "professional" appearance so admired at contests. Make your own markings and decals any size or color. Create camouflage or lozenge patterns with plain tissue.
- Foam sheet and block construction methods for scale models.
- New rubber torque and turn formulas that need only two strokes on your calculator to predict rubber performance.
- Learn to build lighter and reduce weight without losing strength - a really good and simple way to get longer flights.
- Lost model locators, what to buy and how they work.
- Gears - Do they help? A plan for rubber powered contra-rotating props
