Five Stars Perfect condition very happy with product. A dogged piece of knowledge Kai Amrhein My first impression when I opened the book was really positive. A great number of drawings, diagrams and pictures with text inbetween. The introduction still sounds very aimed and sympathetic. I learned better making my way through the first pages about stability - very dry with lots of graphs and aerodynamic sophistry that I won't ever need as an avionics technician. Later flowchart diagrams presented more questions to me than they would answer when using them with the text
