Could you give me the isbn number so i can try to find an old copy? It sounds like just the thing i need! Those diesel engines look quite fancy, and im surprised to learn they would be a better place to start than the Cox! Still seems strange. Anyway, while relaxing after a 12 hour shift my finger slipped looking through ebay listings and I bought a Cox .49 (I think) to play around with. Thanks again for all the advice! Ben.

It was originally published by the AMA (American: Academy of Model Aeronautics) and profits were invested in the AMA's Junior Program. I have checked the AMA's site and it is no longer available (and hasn't been for some years, I think). If you have not already done so, you should check out the site at: LINK There is also a thread on this forum which discusses obtaining a copy of the book as a PDF file: LINK but you will see that was written in 2014, and I can find no way of obtaining the book as a file. I believe the work was not made available before the death of Ron Chernich in March 2014. The Model Engine News site which hosts the Motor Boys pages has not been updated since then. It is still a great site if you love model aero engines. Marcus
