Build and fly your very own model airplane design. Using clear explanations, you will learn about important design trade-offs and how to choose among them. The latest research and techniques are discussed using easy to understand language. You will discover:

  • The special challenges faced by the smaller models and how to overcome them.
  • How to choose the right material for each part of the airplane.
  • Easy rules for selecting the right power system, gas or electric.
  • When it makes sense to use one of the innovative KFm airfoils.
  • Pros and cons of canard and multi-wing configurations.
  • A step-by-step design process that includes goal setting and flight testing.
  • In-depth discussions of important topics like airfoils and wing design.
  • The sources of air drag and how to minimize their impact.

ADVANCE PRAISE

This book is a joy to read! The writing style and wit add dimension in a way that is rarely found in today's reference materials. 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. Carlos really managed to produce a book that will last a long time and become one of the standards for modelers.
