Default RE: 2 Channel plane or Sim the best first step?


ORIGINAL: belsamber

There was a thread on here somewhere saying you could switch the wings farily easily but I can't find it now [&o] Even if it was possible to switch the wings, are you saying I might be better just to stick with 4 channels as rudder/elevator/throttle knowledge might not be so useful? I hadn't heard that before.

Can anyone direct me to a good cheap simulator? (I know the sim wars are a bit like the Mac/Windows thing around here...)
I won't say R/E/T knowledge isn't useful but going to a full 4 channel is going to be another step, so unless you need to economize, might be best to go for the "gold", or A(ileron)/E/T?

Here's the link to the freeware simulator, even if the TX doesn't have a port you could probably pick up a cheap box for around $40.

BTW I don't think there is a Mac/Windoze thing here since all the sims are for the later (sigh).
