This antiquarian book contains a detailed guide to building and using radio control systems for model ships, boats, and aircraft. Complete with step-by-step instructions and a wealth of helpful diagrams, this book is perfect for those with a keen interest in making their own remote control models. The chapters of this book include: "e;Basic Concepts Coders, Decoders and the Radio Link"e;, "e;Radio Components"e;, "e;Transmitters for Radio Control"e;, "e;Radio Control Receivers"e;, "e;Servo-Mechanisms for Radio Control"e;, "e;Aerial System for Radio Control"e;, "e;Layout in a Model"e;, etcetera. We are republishing this vintage book now in a high-quality, modern edition - complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on model building.

The material contained in this handbook has been specially chosen, and it should encourage and help those already enjoying Radio Control to achieve an even higher standard of efficiency and reliability, and arouse the interest of others who have, perhaps, felt that constructing and installing radio equipment in a model might prove a somewhat hazardous job. This book deals with, the theory of the main requirements of Radio Control, namely the Transmitter, Receiver, Servo-Mechanisms, Aerials and Frequency Checking, and at the same time covers the practical aspect and numerous details which are so often left to the imagination.
