Whether you are just starting out with an electric RC plane, or want to improve your skills and move on to the intermediate piloting stage, an RC flight simulator installed on your PC will allow you to to fly virtually, in a variety of outdoor spaces and on a variety of models, day or night, rain or shine. For beginners and intermediate fliers alike, a simulator is a good investment that can end up paying for itself and more. Wondering what kind of flight simulator to buy? Here are some ideas:
The mark of a quality flight simulator is its user-friendliness. If it is any harder to operate than your typical electric RC plane, there's something wrong and you should return it for another model. It should also be able to realistically teach aerodynamics and include the RC flight basics, practice aerobatics and 3D routines. Best are the ones that feature an array of different aircraft and a wide variety of flying styles (spot landing, pylon racing, limbo flying etc.). Some simulators even come with a virtual flying school and professional pilot who will teach you take-off, turning, landing and other basic maneuvers. Another helpful feature is the ability to edit area parameters and flying sites to suit your preference.
If you are interested in trying out some flight simulator software, several manufacturers offer demo versions--there are even some decent programs that you can download for free. The best thing about simulators is that you never have to pay for virtual crackups. Playing the flight simulator before taking your electric RC plane out for that first spin or first stab at aerobatics could well be key to prolonging your plane's life.
