6.		Sail and Rig Tuning from Fernhurst Books Price: $12.49 Customer Review: There is nothing more frighten then a mast coming down at sea. Just the mere thought of it is enough to have a lot of cruising sailors pouring pockets full of money into the hands of riggers up and down the island chain. However rigging isn't that hard, heck I even know a couple guys who decided... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Sail Power: The Complete Guide to Sails and Sail Handling from Knopf Customer Review: Very good resource for the dynamics of wind power, sail design and proper use, but I expected a little more about the true basics like hardware, vessel design and derminology.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.	[no image]	Theory of flight, (McGraw-Hill publications in aeronautical science) from McGraw-Hill Book Company, inc Customer Review: I received 2 books and I paid for two as well.

Still usable and no pages are falling out though so in all the book is still good.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Sail Trim: Theory And Practice from Sheridan House Price: $12.77 Customer Review: You would think a book entitled "Sail Trim" might actually have more than a few pages on that topic. Instead, you get 20 pages on poorly simplified and misrepresented fluid dynamics (granted, I was an Aerospace Engineer in college), 30 pages on different kinds of boats, 15 pages about a "new"... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		The Simple Science of Flight, Revised and Expanded Edition: From Insects to Jumbo Jets from The MIT Press Price: $13.26 Customer Review: This is a very interesting book and I highly recommend it. It explains the science of flight primarily about birds and jet airliners. Don't think that the science of the flight of birds and of jet airliners is related? Yes they are, and this book explains why. Please see the reviews of his earlier... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Hydrofoils: Design, Build, Fly from Peacock Hill Publishing Price: $19.36 Customer Review: I found this book to be very insightful and full of useful information.

20.	[no image]	Flight Stability and Automatic Control from Mcgraw-Hill College Customer Review: If this is a required text, as it was for me then buy it. The information isnt bad, and gives a good coverage of the subject, but the errata list I receieved from my professor spanned at least 20 pages, front and back. You'll learn controls with the right professor, but expect the book to confuse... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


21.

23.		RCadvisor's ModiFly: Design and Build From Scratch Your Own Modern Flying Model Airplane In One Day for Just $5 from RCadvisor.com Price: $10.79 Customer Review: Right up front the author tells you one of the "un-goals" of his design was to be "sexy". Check that box! Un-goal accomplished. I was not thrilled by the overall design and will probably never actually build it(and the hot pink paint job did NOT help). However, there were so many great building... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

26.		Sailpower: Trim and Techniques for Cruising Sailors from Sheridan House Price: $22.95 Customer Review: The first chapter was difficult to follow, and, I believe, was incorrect in its truncated description of how a sail works. The second chapter was also difficult to follow so I gave up and resorted to Peter Hahne's book, Sail Trim: Theory and Practice", which was helpful for this controversial... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


27.		Understanding Aircraft Structures, Third Edition from Blackwell Publishing Price: $80.40 Customer Review: I'm a postgraduate majoring in aeronautics. I think this book is generally suitable for those who have interest in aircraft structure but do not necessarily have educational backgrounds in related fields. In fact, although the emphasis of my study has always been one of aerodynamics rather than... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


28.		Hypersonic and High Temperature Gas Dynamics (AIAA Education) (Aiaa Education Series) from AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics & Ast Price: $78.00 Customer Review: Even though the expected date of arrival was 5 or 6 weeks ahead, it was shipped less than one week after the request and it arrived to Europe (from US) next week.

I'm happy with he conditions the book arrived, so it... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
