I am looking for a good book on R/C helis that will help me understand terms like mixing and dual-rate and pitch curves etc. I have great help on setting up my radio but I dont want to just be able to fly it; I want to know and understand the physics etc. What is available out there for me...I would appreciate some help.

Don't know if it is still available but Ray's Complete Helicopter Manual was pretty much in details.

It's not a book, but Mike Mas has some instructional video that sounds good.

Ray's Complete Helicopter Manual was published in 1991 !....could you suggest anything newer. I am looking for up to date

and I really am looking for a book, for late night reading LOL

Some of the information about specific models may be out of date but that book is a wealth of information covering radio theory, control system setup, engine tuning that hasnt changed much since the last edition was published.

Sorry but if you were to read that outdated book you would learn alot of info, then you can come back on here and read Gary's 80+ pages on the Falcon and really know alot about the updated Falcon and then go to Radd's and learn how to fly a modern helicopter[sm=wink_smile.gif]

hmmm. ok.............I will consider that.......I just want to make sure I am learning useful information....but if you guys have read it then I will certainly consider then...thanks guys
