Other Gift Ideas
We don't sell books but a couple that we can recommend are:
All About Engines by Harry Higley (published by Harry B. Higley & Sons, Inc., P.O. Box 532, Glenwood, Illinois 60425, USA) There was no ISBN number.
This is an excellent book about model internal combustion engines.
A Comprehensive Guide to Model Helicopter Aerobatics by Russ Deakin (published by Traplet Publications Limited, Traplet House, Severn Drive, Upton-upon-Severn, Worcestershire, WR8 0JL, United Kingdom.) ISBN 1 900371 19 7
Not quite as frightening as it sounds - this book is great for beginners and takes you all the way from buying your first helicopter up to simple aerobatics.
Twister

indoors or outside on a calm day. It comes complete with a transmitter and
is very stable - an ideal gift for someone thinking of taking up the sport.
