LEARNING TO FLY
RADIO CONTROL HELICOPTERS AND AEROPLANES
The minimum cost of starting RC
hobbies are as follows:
Electric Plane: RM 1500(
Thundertiger Profile 3D,4CH)
Electric Plane: RM650
(Thundertiger P51D EP,3CH)
Electric Helicopter: RM 490 (Esky
Lama V3)
Fuel Plane: RM 2500
Fuel Helicopter: RM 3000
With such high cost of starting this hobby, it is recommended that
RC hobbyists practise in RC Simulators first before flying real
planes and helicopters. It will reduce the damage done to the the
machines.
FLIGHT SIMULATORS
The cheapest RC simulator is the FMS. You can download it from: FMS
Homepage
The next cheapest costs US29, Clearview:
RC
Flight Simulator ClearView - free demo download
This is what I recommend because it can use photo sceneries and can
handle helicopters and 3D planes more realistically.
More professional:
RealFlight®
G3 Free PhotoField™ Update , which you can order through
us or direct to Niko.
