By Dick Sarpolous, From Flying Models www.flying-models.com. With shipping, which costs almost as much as the book, $12.95.
Whether a person is a "retread", getting back into C/L modeling after several decades, or a total beginner, there is useful information to be found. 64 pages, well written, easy to read, and very basic, but with enough information to get a person started in c/l, and keep him going. Written in 1988, so some photos and information are a bit dated, but the basics are the basics, and Sarpolus makes sense of made things I didn't yet understand, including the various kinds of C/L modeling. I'm still trying to figure out the diagram on p. 37, though. He just may have discovered the perpetual motion machine--or maybe an automatic gerbil pruner. There are plans for several interesting ships.(small tho.)I would like to build a .40 size Epic III, smaller than the .60 size one featured on P.63. One day... Definitely worth the money.
