The Book that Flies

More about the book

After a brief history (which goes back to Icarus and Leonardo), this book explains, in simple terms, the principles of aerodynamics, how to build and construct planes from balsa wood, paper and rubber bands, where to fly them, what clubs to join, how to compete in national and international competitions, as well as listing shops and collections. A set of two tried and tested beginners' models are included as easy-to-build kits boxed at the back of the book, with clear instructions on building and flying them.
