Book did not match listing photo (pic2) The listings only photograph was of an autograph page (pic 1) which means this seller did not photograph the actual item being sold. The seller had to be contacted twice to get a full refund. The shipping cost was very expensive and item was poorly packaged. I have been buying items from ebay for many years and this is the first time I have delt with a seller whose listing was so blatantly dishonest. Buyers beware!

$10 shipping and took over 2 weeks, refused to give tracking number, the cover is bent but they did not disclose that, poorly packaged and arrived open, overall bad experience and customer service- they just send copy and paste messages. I would avoid this seller.

  • The book organizes the detail construction and flying tips for Model Planes

    This book is useful for those wanting to learn how to build and fly Flying Models, also known as "stick and paper" models. It is the second of two by the author Don Ross. He goes into great detail. This hobby is an "old" hobby in that when I was 8 or 9 years old, it was about all I could afford. There was no TV or anything to occupy my time in the evenings, so I built model planes. These books were not written then. So now, many years later I wanted to build some planes, but I felt I needed to relearn how to do it. I purchased Ross' first book, and enjoed it so much that I felt fortunate to be able to buy the second on E-Bay. I read it from cover to cover, and continue to use both books as references.
