Hi all,

I am just getting into the fantastic hobby of electric and sailplane rc models, so I need some advice from you 'oldtimers' in the sport.

Right, I know how to fly, since I am a pilot, but what I need is a good book or set of articles, that will teach me all there is to know for a beginner / intermediate about electrics. By this I mean all the terminology, technology of the radios, motors, batteries, speed controllers etc etc.
I bought a book yesterday, "The Parkflyers Pilot Guide" or some title similar and it was interesting, but a bit basic.

Can anybody advise me re a good book, I heard there is a new one publisher called 'Foaming Around" ?, or articles in magazines that will enlighten me?

Also, what is a good soaring plane to start with for slope soaring, and a good electric for parkflying ?

Thanks A Lot!
