Oh, and then go look at all the free, demo, and commercial software for learning to fly RC aircraft. When Daedalus crafted wings of feathers and wax for his young son, Icarus, he warned the boy before taking flight over the sea, "don't fly too close to the ground for your wings will get wet; but, don't fly too high for your wings are made of wax and the sun will melt them and you will surely fall.
Daedalus' warnings are just as applicable to today's radio controlled airplanes. If you fly too close to the ground, you're likely to crash. If you fly too high your RC plane will be out of range and you'll be unable to control it. Your RC plane will fall from the sky and crash to the ground. Like Icarus, though, it's easy to get caught up in the thrill of flying. But that thrill is short-lived when you crash your RC plane after only a few minutes of soaring.
Before you take your new RC plane out for a test-flight, or even before you buy your first RC plane or helicopter, it would be worthwhile to invest in some flying lessons.
I want to fly but, as luck and skill would have it, "I am no pilot! Learn from my mistakes. Earn your wings with RC flight simulators and a virtual plane. I have found several RC flight simulation titles that are free to download. Some are entirely free. Others are demo versions.
Try one of these and learn to fly RC airplanes and RC helicopters from the safety of your computer screen. Buying multiple RC airplanes and helicopters and then learning to fly with them is costly and likely to be disappointing. Training yourself with RC flight simulators is a more practical approach to learning to fly RC airplanes. So before you go out there and buy RC aircraft and spend a ton of money replacing it time and time again due to multiple crashes, study up and train yourself in the principles of RC flight.
This preparation can lead to a long and enjoyable experience in flying RC planes. RC flight simulation software comes with models of RC airplanes and flying sites that help you virtually recreate RC flying conditions. But part of the RC flying experience is the tools you use the control the aircraft — your radio controller.

User Reviews. Show Reviews. Such models soon become boring as well. The real thrill of the flight is to take control and manipulate the bird to do what you want it to do. The biggest challenge for new RC pilots is to learn hand-to-eye coordination. The brain should know what to do whatever the orientation is of the aircraft. Also, your aircraft simulator is always there to help maintain those skills or develop new ones. The first part of this section looks at the flight simulator options from RealFlight.
After those there a few alternatives including free options or those with free trials. These overviews will help you become familiar with the standard terms and simulator features. The true-to-life physics of the RealFlight RF8 bring unbelievable realism to your world.
Software like this helps to install confidence in pilots who may not otherwise fly. Skilled users also love it as a tool to continually improve their flying skills.
The interface is clean and intuitive. Trainee pilots can choose from different types of aircraft including drones and helis. The program has more than 40 flying sites to keep flights interesting. Furthermore, users can edit models and journeys to match their needs and expectations.
Cons: A few users have reported issues running the software on Windows Check the company has resolved any issues before you decide to buy if you use Win This is the same program as the one above but without the interlink-X Controller. Not everybody needs or wants the included controller, though. The saving is around 80 dollars at the time of writing.
This handy add-on is for existing Owners of RealFlight 8 earlier version. It comes with assembly sticks that use double bearings. That suggests they stay in place after long-time use. This is the Lutema 2. The controller allows pilots to maneuver in all directions. Simulations include dual speed, gyro stabilization, and in-flight sounds. Absolute RC Simulator is free to download, so it has s of reviews.
Despite that, it only gets an average rating from all the feedback. You can use it with RC planes, helis, and boats.
