| While the Tiger manual provides excellent beginner setup information, Ray's book is a invalueable assest.
It will give you all the theory, setup and begining flight tutorials that, if followed or based on, your methodology will develop providing you with a solid base on how to build a heli, trim it out and fly it.
It is my reference manual if I'm unsure of servo horn angles, balancing techniques, building tricks..
The major mistake most people make is they rush into this. When I got my first heli, a Hawk Sport, I put it together and then brought it down to a friend who has decades of flight experience for him to check it over, trim it out and fly it.
He went over all of the intricacies of what he was doing, but he was going through them quickly to get it together and in the air. It was information overload at first, but after a few flights and reading Ray's book more, I began to understand how this thing works. I received more invaluable help from many members on here from all over the world.
Also, fill out your profile information so people whom might be local to you can offer in person help.
