Tailless Tale
by Dr. Ing. Ferdinando Galè
Tailless Tale is, so far as we know, the first published book dealing specifically with tailless model aircraft. Tailless Tale is directed toward modelers, whether they are interested in RC, free flight, or control line flying. It serves as a general guide for those modelers intrigued by the history and potential of tailless aircraft, and as a source of technical information for those designing their own models. Amateur builders of full size aircraft will also find much useful information.
