Product Description
This book will help prevent you from experiencing what NASA calls a "catastrophic event." Besides, when you've finished, you'll know what to do with that little bottle of caloric the manufacturer supplies, free of charge, with each new engine. 175 pages.

 Review: Glow Engines February 8, 2009
James H. Cason (Tallahassee, FL)
This is a great technical book, but may be a bit dated (copyright 1994). In spite of that, it belongs in every model engine fan's library because there rarely one book that is comprehensive enough, but this one comes close. Combine it with Volume II with the same name and you may "have it all." It is written very well and has superb illustrations and photographs.

Excellent, detailed R/C engine text April 4, 2001
This book is undoubtedly one of the best (if not THE best) texts on the subject I've encountered. The section on correct running-in of engines should be included in the box with each and every 2-stroke R/C engine sold. Engine manufacturers' instructions in this regard are almost without exception woefully inadequate. This chapter alone could in many cases repay the book's cost in extending engine life and performance!The section on engine theory and historical development is extremely comprehensive. In fact, I have not found the book lacking in any particular area, with all the necessary carb adjustment info there if one looks for it. This is the sort of book one can reread a dozen times and then still find something new each time it is opened! An essential reference work for any aeromodeller who really wants to understand the workings of, and obtain optimum performance and durability from the "noisy thing on the nose of the plane!". Highly recommended.
 great on engines, not enough on carburaters September 23, 1998
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
This is an execellent book if all you want to do is understand the principles of how the engine works and some general problem solving. In my experience with model engines, it is most common that the carburetter needs adjustment and that is where this book is really lacking.
