{detailed description}There has long been a need for a comprehensive book on radio control for models. One that will guide the footsteps of the modeller without previous experience in radio work, and to fulfil this need George Sommerhoff has written 'Radio Control of Model Aircraft', a new book that will serve both as an introduction for the modeller who wants to make a start in this field and also in the later chapters as a stimulus for more advanced experimental work. The early chapters lead the reader through the functions of the various components and explain in an easily understandable manner the basic essentials of radio with particular emphasis on the equipment that is used for the control of aircraft models. Subsequent chapters deal with the theory and construction of transmitters and receivers, commercial receivers, and notes on timing and adjusting. Circuits for various control systems are dealt with, and here is seen the vast practical experience that lies behind Sommerhoff's writing, as these methods of control have all been developed and constructed and used by him with the assistance of the members of the Dragon School Science Club.
The necessity of reducing the cost of radio control to a minimum has been uppermost in the author's mind. To this end he has given full constructional details for all the equipment required.
