Default Giant Scale Books...?

I am looking for suggestions on books on giant scale model design and construction. Looking to buy such books as well.

Suman:

Good question. I've wondered if there was such a book out there. Seems to me someone could make a decent pay check by writing and publishing a book about giant scale. Call it something like, the 35% to 50% Planes, from A to Z. Covering all the aspects of the plane, purchase, setup, engines, etc, etc.

Default giant scale book

Check out Don's Hobby Shop out of Salina, KS. He adverts in RCModeler and has a book on giant scale planes. Isn't exactly A-Z, but does cover a lot of information. Seems to give one idea for each subject, but does give information to go along with.

I forgot there was also a book some years back called Giant Steps or something like that. Had a bunch of different articles over building, covering, flying, etc.

Tupolo,

Your right about the 2 books from Don's Hobbies. I had forgotten about them.

Any others out there anyone can think of or have seen? (Books on Giant Scale).

If not listed on his web site (in fact I think his web site is done poorly, just a opinion) look in any r/c magazine for ad's from Don's Hobby Shop. In all his ad's he lists the two books he sells (mainly because he wrote them).
