Customer Review: Great for beginners and probably intermediate RC Heli pilots
I had been reading most of the major heli forums (Heli Freak, TRex forum etc.) for a few months before I bought this book on my first trip to the local hobby shop to look at some of the heli’s in person. I am a fairly well educated person with a strong understanding of physics and engineering and still found the early chapters in the book very informative on how the helicopters fly and why to set them up in a certain way. There are chapters on flight sims, how to chose your helicopter, building, triming, crash parts to have, and lessons on how to fly.
