[Julian Simioni · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a great source of complete and easy to understand information, but it needs some serious love in the editing/profreading department. The illustrations are silly and confusing. There is so much duplicated information the book is probably 25% larger than it needs to be. There are typos everywhere. There are extremely poorly worded sentences everywhere. The margins are so small it's hard to read the text.

Someone please honor Sparky Imeson by releasing a 2nd revised version of this book with fantastic editing, and you will be doing a huge service to the flying community. All said, this is still a must buy book, because there's nowhere else to get all this great information in one place.
