Radio Control In Model Boats
Radio controlled model boating began to establish itself as a popular hobby in the 1950's and there was great excitement, even incredulity, among onlookers when they realised that a model was responding to commands sent from a radio transmitter. Nowadays a bystander is more surprised if a model does not have a radio! In the interim, the equipment used has made great strides, to the point where the customer simply has to plug in the batteries, switch on and it all works: no technical knowledge whatsoever is needed. However, guidance is needed to install the radio in the model and learn how to use it to its best advantage.
John Cundell is an author of many years experience at club, national and international level. In his capacity as editor of Model Boats magazine he is very aware of the sort of questions likely to be asked by the less experienced and, perhaps more importantly, knows the problem areas likely to be encountered by the unsuspecting newcomer.
Radio Control in Model Boats, first published in 1986, is a totally practical book and this revised edition brings you right up-to-date. If you follow carefully the simple procedures which arc clearly explained, you will undoubtedly be on the road to success in this fascinating hobby.
