Looking for a book covering the basics of building amd flying Model Helicopters, all my ones are electric, can anyone recommend a good book. No Club here, so learning the hard way here.

As I learnt yesterday - the one thing you dont read about or watch is what catches you out :-)
Dont ask me how I know lolComment

'Ray's Rc Heli Manual' just about has everything in it. I would also perfect your on characterful slump, the one you do when you calmly switch off the tx as you boldly and nonchalantly approach the helicopter for the umptieth time after watching it do the headless chicken routine and chop itself to pieces on the ground after crashing. I personally go for pursed lips, raised eyebrow a long hmmmmmm followed by an oops. 'shiny bead time' is the catchphrase....... in the world of mobile phone cams we now accompany this with 'CSI crashed helicopter investigation' to laugh at later. Good luck my friend.
I have two tools in my tool box. A hammer...... and a condom. If that doesn't work then it's TJFGOP.... The Jobs Fd Going On The P:::::::Comment

+1 for John's books. Also, you can follow his beginner vids from his website (10 days worth of beginners lessons).
+1 for SmackTalk vids as well. Currently watching through the 101 vids on there which cover FF, Sport, Autos, Sims, etc
