Model Aircraft Aerodynamics

Model Aircraft Aerodynamics

by Martin Simons

Twenty years after its first publication, this book continues to be regarded as the standard work on model aircraft, attracting worldwide interest and approval. This new edition includes new sections incorporating new research and developments in model flying practice. The book presents standard aerodynamic theory as it applies to model flight in a concise and practical form for enthusiasts wishing to better understand the behavior of their models in flight.
Flying Models

Flying Models

by Don Ross

This companion to Don Ross's immensely popular Rubber Powered Model Airplanes now opens the world of Electric Power, CO 2, Micro R/C, and even Compressed Air to beginner and expert alike. With explanations and graphics that break complex processes into simple steps, anyone can become a better than average builder, flyer, and competitor. This book will lead you from simple tools and techniques right through to "state of the art" materials that will enhance your model's appearance and increase flight time 25% to 40% or more!
Basics of R/C Model Aircraft Design: Practical Techniques for Building Better Models

Basics of R/C Model Aircraft Design: Practical Techniques for Building Better Models

by Andy Lennon

This book expects some knowledge about model airplane aerodynamics. It covers design and choice of appropraite airfoil, wing planform, fuselage inertia and layout, control surfaces size and shape, canard design, flying wing, reducing drag, ducted cowl design and others. He also explains all of the approaches on particular models that he designed and flew. This book belongs to the library of every serious airplane modeller.
A Complete Guide to Radio Control Gliders

A Complete Guide to Radio Control Gliders

by George Stringwell

The author gives a thorough introduction to designing, building, flying, and trimming, plus different types of sail plane flying (slope, thermal, competition, aerobatics, etc.).
Radio Control Foam Modelling

Radio Control Foam Modelling

by David Thomas, Sid King

A comprehensive guide to the use of expanded plastic foam materials in model aircraft. Foam is a relatively new material for modelmakers, and many are still not familiar with all the necessary information and techniques, the latest choices available, and the associated materials, tools and glues.
