More and more people are being infected by the model helicopter virus. Some discover the lively flying machines in a toy department, others already have experience with RC models and want to add helicopter flying to their repertoire. The book "Der RC-Helikopter - Montage, Technik, Wartung und richtiges Fliegen" shows how to approach the hobby with patience and a systematic approach. Peter Jedamski presents the various classes of electric helicopters in detail, describes individual models in more detail and goes into detail about the different types of helicopter. The technology of the motors and servos, the batteries and the various remote control systems are not neglected either. The author guides the tinkerer through the selection and purchase, assembly and maintenance of his helicopter, flight preparations and, of course, flying, from the first hop to real 3D figures. Novice and advanced pilots alike will find plenty of technical information, valuable tips and tricks in this book, as well as entertaining anecdotes from the author's life as a model pilot.
