Airpaddler Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 While I have many books on general and specific RC subjects. A renewed interest in gliding, prompted a search for an "understable" weather specific book. I have the most of the classic RC glider books, which "address" the subject, but I cannot find anything to advance my weather condition interpretation. Dont know if I have explained myself well. But if you recognise my dilema. Any reccomendations gratefully received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will -0 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Hello, the best weather book for glider pilots is this: Meteorology and flight by Tom Bradbury (meterologist and glider pilot) it's not specifically aimed at RC pilots, but it's by far the best I've seen.
