There are a couple books out there, however, most of that stuff you can now find on the internet. There are some good sites that have videos, build walkthroughs and setup pictures with text. Sometimes it's better to get a walkthrough on your specific model rather than a "general" setup guide, not that a "general" guide isn't handy.

Thanks, I have a Falcon 3D and just looking for something to help me understand the stuff I see at this site. Will check out the Blade videos.

Not so much a book but a pretty good Mag is RCHeli. They have reviews, how to, reader feed backs, and up coming products. I subscribe to them and look forward to every issue.

I recommend that you also check out the "RADD school of rotary flight" website. Good luck and good flying.
