new to site and something I found that might help newbies

[metaryder]

First I'd like to say that this is a fantastic site especially for a newbie like me. Watching the vids is mind blowing on what you guys can make these models do. Also the amount of information is great. I always like to contribute something and I thought this might be helpful. I'm looking at getting into this hobby and one thing I always look for is a decent book to help in getting started. I found this E-book on ebay. I bought it for under $5 (Canadian) figuring that it's no loss if it doesn't help any. I have gone through it and it has a lot of information that should prove invaluable once I get started. I highly recommend it for those just getting into the hobby or considering getting into the hobby. The ebay link is listed below. I had the book within a couple of hours of buying it since it is an ebook after all(adobe acrobat format).

If it is an electronic book, why is there only a quantity of 6 available?
Can you tell us who wrote the book and what source it came from.
I see the auction is from Austrailia.
What does the book cover ?

It has about 12 pages of info on the different types of equipment, a 7 page glossary of terms and a bunch of step by step lessons on learning to fly. These lessons are a logical progression for basic flight and some advanced flight. It also has a trouble shooting guide, a FAQ, and how to set up your radio and heli. There are a total of 50 pages.
I found it handy to have a lesson plan laid out and the glossary of terms helps alot too. The equipment section is more of a summary of what is out there and doesn't get too indepth.
As to the author, no name is listed, just .helihouse. Not sure if this is a person or a group.
For the very moderate cost, I felt it was well worth it.
