RE: Good Books?
You need 2 books,
1) Martin SImmons Aerodynamics book
2) Go to any university bookstore that teaches Aeronautics and buy the Aeronautics 101 book. Between the two books you can design an airplane
Model Aerodynamics are the same as the real deal, except for some rule of thumbs for horizontal stabs and vertical stabs because lift is a velocity squared function! Thus at model speeds one must have larger areas to compensate, not to mention at slower speeds your RE # is much lower and can produce some very wierd characteristics...
