Review:

If you want to get people on their feet and applaud at a helicopter fly-in all you have to do is put on a smooth, realistic flight with a scale helicopter. At one such fly-in I was flying my Thunder Tiger MD-530 when Peter appeared behind me on the flight line. When I landed he told me that he thought I had put on a very realistic flight. It was like Wayne Gretzky telling me he thought I had moves. Of course after helping out Peter and seeing his helicopters up close, I wanted to kick mine or at least throw a towel over it.

As I read through the book, every chapter gave me ideas for my current long term project, a 60 size scale Bell Jet Ranger, and I'm looking forward to putting my craftsmanship to the test. -- RC Universe
