In a very short time, multi-rotor RC aircraft have gone from an exciting and eccentric niche of expensive aircraft to the fastest growing category of RC. The growth has been so fast, that like the "Golden Age" of aviation, the variety of great and terrible aircraft (in this case quadcopters) is substantial. And as for pilot skills and RC clubs that can teach you to fly one....almost non-existent.Most people learn on their own by trial and error. And the result is crashes, fixes, and frustration. Crashes are an inevitable and necessary part of the learning curve, but they need not be expensive or serious if you choose the right learning tools.There are mini and micro quadcopters that can take some pretty serious abuse and keep flying. And while most quadcopters are relatively easy to learn to fly (at least far easier than helicopters), they are not easy to learn to fly well.A good book on the subject just doesn't exist....at least until now. "Getting Started with Hobby Quadcopters and Drones" by Craig Issod is one of the first guides on the subject available. And it is a great start for the neophyte looking to get into the hobby.The price of the book (free the next few days, but less than $3 typically) is less than the cost of a set of propellors for your new quadcopter. And it is worth that price since it will save you more money than that.Craig frequenty haunts RCGroups.com and is involved in running a website called droneflyers.com. More than the leader of an interest group, it is clear that Craig is an enthusiast and evangelist for the hobby. He clearly wants people to engage in the sport and stay there because they had a good experience and enjoyed it.
