Too often, small scale airplanes were left behind in the testing, analysis and even equations of aerodynamics reference books. Simmons book clarifies flight concepts to the point of being useful to scratch builders and scale planes. Extracting practical and theoretical concepts that apply to airplanes and helicopters you can avoid lurking disasters by digesting this book while applying this knowledge.
There is much room for improvement by experimentation, wind tunnel testing and creative ideas and this book will facilitate that experience in a happy way. The author has over 50 years experience in this field expressing some wonderful insight while passing some of that experience to you. I recommend this book.
