That book was crap when it first came out and it's not even closely relevant to today's machines or methods of learning.  SignatureBeav Reply to "beavis dot original at ntlworld dot com" (with the obvious changes) 184 pages ? My copy has only got 60 (ISBN 0-85242-975-4), and I have to agree with Grandpa Beav, it's poop. Send me a SAE and you can have my copy for free. Now Schluters radio controlled helicopter manual by Dieter Schluter gives me the control horn. >> Flying Model Helicopters, From basics to competition by Dave >> Day.Original owners inscription,otherwise good condition. 184 pages.

And even Rays Manual is still relevant.

It wasn't that bad as a source of info for complete beginners, who had no idea about the hobby. I had no idea they were so valuable. I think I'll auction off my copy. Anything over 10 years old must surely have reached antique status in model heli years. lol SignatureAdrian Smith www.YourStadium.com Superb aerial pictures of UK football stadiums. >>> Flying Model Helicopters, From basics to competition by Dave >>> Day.Original owners inscription,otherwise good condition. 184 pages.

Personally, I wouldn't use one to wedge a sh.t house door open. > I had no idea they were so valuable. They're not.

Trouble is, I've been waiting for 40 years! the PAPER will be worth more than the magazines:) SignatureBeav Reply to "beavis dot original at ntlworld dot com" (with the obvious changes) >>>> Flying Model Helicopters, From basics to competition by Dave >>>> Day.Original owners inscription,otherwise good condition. 184 pages. [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > I've been waiting for 40 years! the PAPER will be worth more than the > magazines:) I even contemplated making the device described by Dave Day in his book at the time. It was a mirror controlled by 3 servos with a marble on top. The idea being to control the marble movement by tilting the mirror with the servos. In the end I bought a Morley Maverick and learned on that insetead. >I've got a room full of magazines just waiting for the day.

At least it was sat on the top of a Hirobo Shuttle in the ads. > In the end I bought a Morley Maverick and learned on that insetead.
