Introducing radio control model boats.

(from the rear cover) Operators of radio-controlled model power boats and yachts are used to questions from bystanders at the pondside and rapidly learn to distinguish the idly curious from the genuinely interested. The queries raised by the latter can be quite extensive, but if the interest is there few boating enthusiasts will grudge the time spent in explanation.However, it is clear that most people interested in starting in boating are unlikely to know which questions important, and the information they receive may well depend on the personal preferences and experience of the modeller the are questioning.The author of this book has more than thirty years' experience of pondside questions and twenty five years of answering readers' queries to Model Maker and Model Boats magazines. He is well placed to produce an introductory book covering all the areas in which confusion can arise and all the crucial aspects likely to cause difficulties to new and less experienced model boating enthusiasts, as well as to sketch in the broad picture of model boating today and the paths a newcomer can follow.
