Model aircraft design handbooks

[joe@tech-mp]

Hi All,

I am looking for recommendations on model airplane design handbooks. I would like information such as rules of thumb and design formulas for the various wing and tail configurations, wing and tail surface areas, flight speed, CG, and performance.

Thanks

Joe

and
