Thank you for sharing this. I've been folding paper airplanes and I feel that I should move up to airplane models. I've already folded all 50 paper airplanes found at http://www.paperairplaneshq.com

That looks like an interesting book. One should also consider "Rubber Powered Model Airplanes" by Don Ross. Also, the Squirrel by Darcy Whyte. You can get a PDF of the plans for free at http://www.rubber-power.com. To see it fly go here: http://www.rubber-power.com/How-to-fl...

As a prolific buyer of books, this site is perhaps the most 'responsible' in providing a potential buyer a sense of what it is that they are purchasing. Buying a book online is quite close to gambling as, unless the purchaser 'knows' the book in question, the book, though having the correct title that will provide the individual with some degree of play, the advantage lies with the seller as the book received may have nothing - a limited amount of what the title 'suggests' and that is all a title can do. If I may, I would like to have your permission to use your site as an example of how a book site should function.DOWTONGH@MSN.COM Many thanks, Gordon
