Book Reviews of The Gliding Flight
Book Review: Designes that just work
Summary: 5 Stars
At school we went through a period of building cheap balsa gliders, competing, at 3 in the morning, for long distance records. Would loved to have had the theory included in this book. The interest continued and I've bought a bunch of books but like this one best for actual construction instructions for flyable planes. Each design in the dart class, for example, had to fly a level 60-foot course and smack the opposite wall to be included. I haven't measured how far mine have flown but the distance is impressively far! His explanations of theory are clear and interesting but unnecessary for success. Most of the designs in other books seem overly complex works of origami. I wanted designs I could quickly fold and fly and this book filed the bill. On the other hand, I can also recommend the "Klutz Book of Paper Airplanes".
