Too simplistic

The book gives you the basics of quadcopter building but does not go into any depth. Very little guidance is given on choosing components such as transmitter or receivers or controller choice.

Ok book

It offers only general information on how to built a quadcopter. The book is very short and does not have a lot of additional information.

Great guide for beginners

This book is a short but concise guide for those who are not familiar with building multicopters . You should be able to build a quad if you follow this guide . It will not teach you how to fly it though, you will need to buy another book or just be careful and use common sense.
