Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / December 2007RC Heli Books for beginners/starting out.
I have just ordered the following three books: The basics of Radio Control Helicopters ISBN: 0911295364 Radio Controlled Helicopters: The Guide to Building and Flying R/c Helicopters ISBN: 185486226X Author: Nick Papillon Beginners Guide to Model Helicopters ISBN: 1900371146 Author: Peter Rieksts Has anyone read any of these and has an opinion on them? Can anyone recommend any other books for starting out in this hobby and possibly the next step after this? Are books a good way to attempt to learn heli's or is there just no substitute for hands on advice from someone with experience? Any comments or feedback on this or advice from other people on how they picked up the hobby from both the building, repairing, engineering and flying point's of view? Thanks again! -- Simon Ashford MCP IT Consultant, Netlink Data Solutions Limited. I have not read those books, but I have read: The Basics of Radio Control Helicopters (2nd Ed) by Paul Tradelius ISBN: 0-911295-36-4 A Comprehensive Guide to Model Helicopter Aerobatics by Russ Deakin ISBN: 1-900371-19-7 Both are excellent books.

Thanks Biggie - ISBN numbers as well, what more could I ask for! Second one is probably beyond me at this stage but have made a note of both of them anyway. -- Simon Ashford MCP IT Consultant, Netlink Data Solutions Limited. > I have not read those books, but I have read: > The Basics of Radio Control Helicopters (2nd Ed) [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] > > Simon Ashford MCP > > IT Consultant, Netlink Data Solutions Limited. Get the second one anyway. Much good info on assembly, set-up etc. You will use it straight away. The 1st one I listed is a repeat of yours. sorry.

I think that books are good for an insight into the principles behind helicopter flying, enable you to become familiar with the jargon etc. But I don`t think you can substitute books for experience from those that are flying helis. >I have just ordered the following three books: >The basics of Radio Control Helicopters [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > >Thanks again! Appreciate your comments I've now finally found a club with space for additional members, although it is over half an hour from here. Hopefully I'll be able to draw on the experience of established members. -- Simon Ashford MCP IT Consultant, Netlink Data Solutions Limited. > I think that books are good for an insight into the principles behind > helicopter flying, enable you to become familiar with the jargon etc. [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > > >Thanks again!
