Wireless Rain Gauge
Customer Review: Very good product
I have purchased three Oregon Scientific rain gauges, all are different models. The first I purchased three years ago as a gift for my son. I liked it so well I purchased one for myself. I purchased a third this Christmas for a friend who admired mine. I recommend them highly.
Customer Review: Wireless Rain Guage
Both recipients of this gift from me loved them for Christmas. I wanted to order a 3rd one but when I went back in to order, the price had DOUBLED! too bad for me I guess…not paying for 1 what I paid for 2 before the holiday!

Model Aircraft Aerodynamics 
Twenty years after its first publication, this book continues to be regarded as the standard work on model aircraft, attracting worldwide interest and approval. This new edition includes new sections incorporating new research and developments in model flying practice. The book presents standard aerodynamic theory as it applies to model flight in a concise and practical form for enthusiasts wishing to better understand the behavior of their models in flight.
Customer Review: MORE HELIS AND ROCKETS
I THINK THAT IT COULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAILED IN HELICOPTERS SUBJECTS AND HAVE SOME CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT ROCKETS Aerodynamics.
Customer Review: Good explanation of aerodynamic basics
This books gives a good qualitative explanation of the aerodynamic basics. Calculations are left in the appendix, so the mathophobics will not be intimidated. It debunks myths such as the “dive test”. The only bad thing about this book is a few typos on graphs that can be rather confusing.

Customer Review: Realistic, fun & worth the cost
Model RC flying is just something you either enjoy tremendously or disdain completely. For those of us that enjoy it, nothing could be more daunting a task than taking our pristine polished birds of flight up into those scary skies. Even though I am a certified private pilot, I can still recall the first time I flew my first trainer RC model plane. It was just a few years ago and I had been flying the original version of Realflight for a few months before the maiden flight. Along with my best friend and experienced RC pilot, we trekked out to an abandoned factory plant with nothing but long concrete roads, and empty foundations a couple miles off the road, pretty much ideal for learning the ropes. Needless to say, I flew the plane better than my instructor and was more confident. (mainly due to my thousands of flights using Realflight along with hundreds of crashes!) — I took off, did some rolls, loops, Cuban8s and then I got nervous about the landing, so I let my seasoned pro take over. Well, suffice to say he managed to introduce my trainer to the only tree within 10 miles, and my first day of flight was quickly rendered complete. Realflight was good back then. It provided me the raw confidence and ability to understand the dynamics of flight as well as the inherent advantages of each different model aircraft without incurring the cost or the build-time. Last week on a whim, I decided to get back into RC planes. I lost my whole collection to Katrina and wanted to start off small again, but it has been at least 3 years since I last flew by Futaba, so off I went to find out about RF 3.5! Well, I purchased Realflight 3.5 thinking it probably had a lot more than I needed or wanted included, but all things being equal, it probably was still the best available on the market. I was right, it is the best available for my needs, but it does have FAR too many options, variables, scenarios, settings and parameters that most of us will probably never care to use, much less actually need. I wish they sold a scaled down RC plane version only with a few flying fields and maybe a dozen aircraft for 1/2 price, then maybe a “Premier” version with everything else included, but I guess that is not in the scheme of things at KnifeEdge. In any case, the new multilink controller (made by Futaba) is superb — precise, accurate & can be configured for custom applications by the end pilot. All-in-all, highly recommended. Excellent software, fabulous graphics, accurate control, and definitely worth the $ to me. If you are serious about learning how to fly, flying when the weather is poor, experimenting with different aircraft or simply reducing your % of accidents into this wonderful hobby, then RF3.5 in my opinion is the best out there bar none. Even if you, like me, don’t have much time a year to fly, it is the best fun you can have practicing without picking up too many discarded pieces of balsa wood and monokote! 
Keep the greasy side down, Andy
Customer Review: Saving me a lot of busted up planes
I’m new to the hobby so to have this sim available is saving me a lot of busted up planes and frustration (and money). For comparison my system specs: AMD64 3000, 1GB RAM, 7900GS, 19″ widescreen. I’ve set all the graphics qualities to 100% (except lighting and contrast which I left default) and I’m running the sim with no noticeable slowing or stutters. Installation was straightforward and I was up and flying in no time - well, up and crashing in no time. PROS - Great way to enjoy the hobby and save the frustration and expenses of real-world crashes. Nice visuals and nice sounds. - To me, the controls feel accurate, but I don’t have a real RC to compare to. - Nice assortment of aircraft to choose from right out of the box and more expansions available for purchase. CONS - You may not be able to find a match for your real RC plane. - Graphics are nice but not top-notch. At times it can get difficult to recognize the orientation of the aircraft. - No beginner airfield that does not have visual obstructions (trees, buildings, etc.). For those of us just learning it is horrible to lose sight of the aircraft even for a moment. It also makes those landing approaches less forgivable when there are fences and such alongside the runway that make those less than perfect landings more costly than they would be if you were in an open field. In summation, there is something that I wish you could enable and that is an orientation (bank) indicator. When the aircraft moves too far away it is really, really hard to tell the aircraft’s orientation anymore, more so than when I’m watching the true aircraft in life. As for what is included, I’ve only scratched the surface. You can modify the existing aircraft and airports and that is where I will go next to see if I can’t remove some of the scenery and give me a more forgiving airfield.
