RC Helicopter Links


Collecting cool links.... stay tuned.
These are the books I read while I learned how to fly RC helis. The Japanese book on the left, translated Piloting RC Helicopters, published in 1980 is quite detailed, even discussing techniques on flying flybarless helis. I've scanned a few nostalgic heli images from this book. Ray's Complete Helicopter Manual is the First Edition, great book for learning how to properly build and set-up helis. Schluter's Radio Controlled Helicopter Manual is almost like an autobiography, but covers everything, including some history, and it's fun reading. John Drake's Radio Control Helicopter Models is essentially a design book for engineer types, with lots of theories and equations.
