'Astro Flight Electric Motor Handbook' was published in 1994. I'm sure there are loads of new books and lengthy tutorials on motors used in model building. Try searching more...

You're right man, it's a hard to find book! :banghead:

Even the 'AstroFlight' website doesn't have it listed in their 'Literature' section!

And here's what hobbylinc.com has...

And here's a review from amazon.com by 'William Corsair'.

"There's a newer version of this book but it's unavailable on amazon (only through the publisher). Unfortunately, the book is very technical and only of limited use to radio control hobbyists. At that, it's not very well written. For example, the author never defines the term "volt" either in the text or in the glossary. He lamely defines volt in the glossary in the old analogy of water pressure from a garden hose. What?

It's too bad because the author knows his subject inside and out--he just writes and explains poorly. The book is in serious need of a technical editor."

The book seems to be available here though...

Thanks Anwar,
The book requested above is not available with legality I think.
Thanks for your prompt cleaning.

...Dont know 1ega1ity of the links. If required moderators please edit this post.

I was gonna post those links too, but, in view of a recent issue concerning the '1ega1ity' of the stuff we post, I didn't.
And Kalyan sir, Aditya specifically wants 'Astro Flight Electric Motor Handbook by robert Boucher' as he says "astro flight book is one of the best book regarding d.c. motors..."
