This book will help you through the learning stages of R/C helicopter flying and into more advanced forms of aerobatics, with minimum hardship to both you and your helicopter. You won't have to learn formulas or theory; the practical information provided here will enable you to progress from just thinking about getting into R/C helicopters to being a successful chopper pilot.
I'll tell you about selecting, building and flying a model helicopter. I've learned from experience (good and bad) and from watching and talking to other fliers. There's no reason why everyone should suffer as many of us did years ago when there was no one to help and very little material to read on the subject. Over the past few years, many have tried to teach themselves to fly helicopters, but without any outside help, the probability of their succeeding was rather low. After a few mishaps, many give up, saying it's too difficult and too costly, when in reality it isn't either.
