Review: I have read many books like this but this beats them all! I am just a Beginner but might rank higher once I'm done reading!

Summary: Very good reference for your R/C aircraft library
Review: The book is well organized and very easy to follow. The author has included lots of pictures to illustrate the numerous building techniques ranging from general construction (ribs, spars, jigs, tips & tricks, tools) to construction techniques focused on gas and electrical models. I'm a little dissapointed in the black-and-white only pictures but very satisfied with the clarity of the instructions. It's obvious that the author has many years of modeling experience, as I hope to have eventually. I would like to see a new edition with color pictures that feature more great building techniques. In the meantime, this book should be a part of any R/C aircraft modeler's library.

Summary: I was very disappointed
Review: What I expected was a step-by-step book that got into the basics of building model aircraft. What I got was a collection of articles, some of them old, from Model Airplane News magazine. The articles are tips, organized by chapter on various topics, like "wing building," "building tools," etc.While some of the tips were useful, I think the title is misleading. Many of the articles weren't building techniques at all. And I was disappointed after reading it that I still didn't have a good feel as to what it takes to build a quality model airplane. Its an ok book for some of the tips, but don't buy it expecting a "how-to" book on building a model airplane.
