STICK & RUDDER AN EXPLANATION

Good paper quality and print quality

This is written as ' an explanation of the art of flying ' I bought this for my husband who has spent the last 6 years building a VANS RV7 airplane and has a keen interest in flying - obviously as he also has his PPL. The book is well written and simply wants to instil a knowledge of the most important fundamental aspects of flying e.g. 'The wing keeps the airplane up by pushing the air down.' There are countless black pencil drawings explaining each point simply so is good if you are a visual learner. There are chapters on Wind drift;that thing called torque etc etc...

My partner likes the style in which this book is written. Although written a few years ago, he has found it very informative, giving the basics of flying a light aeroplane. A good read.

The trainng that every pilot goes through when they start to learn to fly teaches them how to fly... but this book teaches you the art of flying.. it teaches you to aviate!The language is quite antiquated as the book was written many years ago, so that can take some getting used to, but once you get past that, this book really does make things make sense!Thoroughly recommended for every pilot, budding or bloomed!

This is a fabulous book! A must for any aviator or enthusiasts library.

Great read for aspiring pilots, very useful to put in any applications for airlines or flight schools
