Handbook of Model Rocketry, 7th Edition (NAR Official Handbook)

Foamboards

A fully updated new edition of the bible of model rocketry and the official handbook of the National Association of Rocketry G. Harry Stine was one of the founders of model rocketry and one of its most accomplished and respected figures. His Handbook of Model Rocketry has long been recognized as the most authoritative and reliable resource in the field. Now fully updated and expanded by Harry’s son Bill Stine, who inherited his father’s passion for model rockets, the new Seventh Edition includes the many changes in the hobby that have occurred since the last edition was published, such as new types of rockets, motors, and electronic payloads, plus computer software and Internet resources. This new edition also includes new photos and a new chapter on high-power rocketry.
G. Harry Stine, founder and one-time president of the National Association of Rocketry, started the world’s first model rocket company, whose kits are now in the Smithsonian. Bill Stine, also a model rocket expert, is the founder and president of Quest Aerospace Inc.

HOW TO FLY RC Planes – Illustrated Guide: Become an RC Plane flying expert in 30 minutes

Foamboards

RC Plane flying and building – Probably this is the only Hobby that involves Engineering, Electronics, Building, Aerodynamics, Model making, etc.

This is a hobby which is demanding and challenging and yet rewarding, when you fly it!

The feeling you get when you fly the plane successfully, is priceless.

As a RC Plane hobbyist for several years I have come to experience this priceless feeling again and again and I want others to feel the same about this hobby.

That is why I have created this STEP-BY-STEP ILLUSTRATED GUIDE , so that with minimum frustration and ‘fuss’ you can go about making your flight a successful one.

This Guide covers some very important segments in the process of flying without which a successful flight will one be a matter of chance! They are,

– How planes fly

– Planes don’t turn, but instead they ‘bank’, why?

– Bank / Roll

– RC Plane banking

– Ground controls

– Your flying field selection

– Taxi & Take off

– Taxi (ground roll)

– Take-off (transition from ground to air)

– Climb & First bank

– Climbing and maintaining altitude

– Flight path

– Stalling : Recognise & Recover from Stall

– Descent & Landing

– Cross wind Landing

– Various Landing Scenarios

This guide is a creation and compilation of some extensive research, both from actual experience and available information.

Lastly, I want to say only one thing about flying RC Planes, “The more you know about them, the better your flying will be”
