Airplane Theory
See How It Flies
This is an absolutely wonderful on-line book about airplane theory as
well as full-scale aircraft flying. It is quite large and has basic information
for the casual reader and more information for those interested in more
detailed theory. If you still think wings generate lift becasue they are curved
on top, you should read this on-line book.

including tapes, wing rods, skids, winch line, servos, etc.
