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.

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.
