If someone has considered designing their own airplane and been put off because of complicated formulas, vocabulary and reference style that would bore even an engineer, this will convince them to go ahead and try it. Written with real people in mind and not engineers - and I mean that in a good way. This is a book that will reside along the other favorites on my bookshelf.

The background history of various types of aircraft shows the development of aviation and how it relates to the models that we build and fly today, as well as how models have influenced general aviation. It is always exciting to find some 'new to me' concepts and theories, and there were several in this well-written narrative.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eKen Myers\u003c\/strong\u003e, Editor, Ampeer electric flight newsletter\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"No matter how long you've been aeromodelling, or what your interests are in our great hobby, the greatest thrill of all is standing behind a unique model that you've designed and built yourself, from a blank sheet of paper - or even a blank CAD file - and preparing to make that first take off.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSo sit yourself down in a comfy chair, read RCadvisor's Model Airplane Design Made Easy and set off on aeromodelling's greatest adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLet Carlos Reyes - an aeromodeller of long standing and great talent - take you through the mysteries of how to arrive at the point that every lover of model aircraft should experience.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eDereck Woodward\u003c\/strong\u003e, aeromodeller, designer and magazine writer for the past fifty years\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9.5 x 6.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 04, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42722068791359,"sku":"9780982261323","price":32.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/424ec7bb2407cb2c9ce9b87da02263d7.webp?v=1765094497","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/rcadvisors-model-airplane-design-made-easy-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
