Default RE: Good Reading?

Right Shoe. I bought Abbott for the 400 pages of ordinates and polar data in the appendices. However, I only discovered after receiving it that it only covers NACA sections (nothing on Selig, Eppler, etc.) and the polars are described in Reynolds values of 3 million+, way too high for model applications. I love the "Look Inside" feature on Amazon because I can usually catch stuff like this but in this case it was totally missed. It looks like it may have been a useless purchase. I can't recommend this book for model designers except as a novelty.

DaRock, thanks for the link. You da man!
