Book excerpt: It's a lot easier to fly RC planes now than it used to be. There's been a revolution, thanks to the miniaturization and lower cost of tiny electronics and rechargeable batteries. These days you can buy a ready-to-fly plane, charge the battery, and be in the air within an hour. And that's part of the problem. Now it's so easy to get into the air, you can get there long before you're ready. Through trial and error, I've discovered which planes are the best for novice RC pilots. There are dozens of choices, but relatively few have earned a place in this book. I've purchased and flown all of the planes mentioned here (along with other planes that didn't make it into this book). My recommendations are based solely on how the planes perform, the quality of the materials, and the manufacturer's customer support.

Book excerpt: "Getting Started with Drones and Model Airplanes has been written for the beginning pilot, who wants to understand how these marvelous machines work and how to fly them safely. Buying a drone or a model airplane is really just the beginning of the journey: You must register your aircraft with the Federal Aviation Administration, complete a testing and certification process and then figure out how to safely operate your machine in (or to avoid) the busiest and most complex airspace in the entire world. It can be all be a little overwhelming for a beginner, but luckily you've got an expert co-pilot to guide you every step of the way: Patrick Sherman is an award-winning instructor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University who has been flying and teaching people about drones for more than 10 years. In this book, he takes complex subjects and explains them in simple language with pictures and diagrams to make these concepts easy to understand. In Getting Started with Drones and Model Airplanes, you will learn: - Different rules apply depending on whether you are flying for fun or flying to make money, and different training and certification is required. - Fundamental principles of aerodynamics, so you can understand how different kinds of flying machines - like airplanes and helicopters - work. - How to maneuver a drone or a model airplane using the ubiquitous two-stick controller used by both recreational and commercial pilots. - What are the different parts inside a drone or a model airplane, and how they work together to make it fly. - The importance of flying safely and how you can avoid running into other aircraft or hurting people on the ground. - Simple techniques for taking great aerial photographs and how to evaluate a new flying site before you launch your aircraft. This book is the perfect primer-whether you are teaching yourself how to fly, giving it as a gift along with a drone or model airplane, looking to get into commercial drone operations, or studying robotics and STEM subjects in school related to aviation"--

Download or read book The Single Plane Golf Swing written by Todd Graves and published by BrownBooks.ORM. This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Through this wonderful book, frustrated golfers can learn to swing like Moe [Norman] and improve their games.” —Anthony Robbins, #1 New York Times–bestselling author The mysterious and reclusive genius Moe Norman is acknowledged as the best ball-striker in the history of golf by many of the game’s greats. The Single Plane Golf Swing: Play Better Golf the Moe Norman Way reveals the secrets of the swing that enabled him to hit the ball solidly with unerring accuracy and consistency—every time. Norman’s simple, efficient, and easily understood Single Plane Swing has improved the games of thousands of golfers. Golf professional Todd Graves, known as “Little Moe” and regarded as the world authority on Norman’s swing, comprehensively teaches readers the mechanics, drills, and feelings of the Single Plane Swing that Moe called “The Feeling of Greatness.” Graves shares Norman’s brilliant insights and liberating approach to the game and demonstrates why the conventional “tour” swing is too complex and frustrating for the majority of amateurs. Illustrated with more than 300 photographs and written with Tim O’Connor, Norman’s biographer, the book also engagingly tells Norman’s bittersweet life story and explores the teacher-student bond forged between Norman and his protégé Graves. “One of golf’s greatest untold stories, Moe Norman’s life illustrated a simple and powerful truth: greatness is built from practicing the right swing in the right way. In this book, Todd Graves has given us a blueprint for that swing, for those practice habits, and most of all for a process that builds success.” —Dan Coyle, New York Times-bestselling author of The Culture Code
