Hi,

I purchased a Sturdy Birdy II about a year ago thinking I could teach my self to fly without an instructor. I didn't even have it in the air for 20 seconds before I nose-dived into the ground at full throttle.

Anyways, I recently found an R/C plane simulator called "Flying Model Simulator". It's freeware, so I downloaded it and tried it out. I was able to obtain some information on how to "hack" my transmitter and hook it up to my computer via the mic port so I could control the plane in the simulator from my transmitter. I've become quite good at flying in the simulator, but I was wondering if anybody's had any experience with FMS and if it's very realistic.

Thanks,
Matt
