I have tried landing from each end etc. When on base leg, you cannot see the runway for a while then the nose is down and in a turn ......hard to recover. Practice .. I do fly a real model but no landings yet. I tried the Gee B but it was way too quick, Yak too. I have to stay with the learning elec and others. I tried the Harrier and wheels up then a puff of smoke on the horizon. Funny ans heck. Love this hobby. gphil
I have found that the field of view in any simulator is so small that you cannot sense where the runway is until you are too close to the ground. You almost have to know how to fly RC to be able to learn how to fly the simulator.
My buddies and I fly at a field between Danielsville and Comer on HWY 98, and you are more than welcome to come and try your hand at landing your trainer. I have instructed RC flying for over 10 years and would be glad to offer my services for nuttin. I live in Carlton, so its really just down the road.
PM me if you would like to get together.
