Book Reviews of Radio Controlled Helicopters: The Guide to Building and Flying C Helicopters
Book Review: A good basic guide
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good basic guide to RC helicopters. Because of its age it has little information specific to electric helicopters so it is more useful to those running nitro helis. But even for electric fliers it has good basic info on setup and flight but don't expect too much.
