Aviation Books and Magazines
Building and flying model airplanes is just plane fun!
Many of us who fly or have flown "real" airplanes and helicopters, still enjoy flying model aircrafts. A lot of us got our start in aviation with model airplanes and model rockets.

Learning to Fly Helicopters
An introduction to helicopter flying techniques, many of which are difficult to master, as well as a discussion of emergency procedure, human factors, advanced operations and even a section on careers.
Principles of Helicopter Aerodynamics (Cambridge Aerospace Series)
This book is a modern treatment of the aerodynamic principles of helicopters and rotating-wing vertical lift aircraft. Part one covers the technical history of helicopter flight, basic methods of rotor aerodynamics, and performance-related design issues. Part two contains advanced topics in helicopter aerodynamics, including airfoil flows, unsteady aerodynamics, dynamic stall, rotor wakes, and rotor-airframe aerodynamic interactions. Part three contains chapters on autogiros and advanced aerodynamic analysis and a new chapter on the aerodynamics of wind turbines. The book is extensively
illustrated and contains homework problems.
... a complete treatment of the subject, pulling together between its covers all the relevant topics in a useable manner. The book will be suitable for anyone in the industry or academia who has to function at a high technical level. In particular, I recommend it highly to those of us who are not aerodynamicists per se, but need to be increasingly well informed on aerodynamic matters... -- Stewart Houston, Aerospace Journal --
