Hi All,
Im learning how to fly a heli, so I got the Real Flight 6.5 sim, it has lots of planes on it so naturally I started to play with the planes. Now I want one, Im not sure if I should go with a nitro trainer or electric, If I go with Nitro I would look at the Hangar 9 Alpha, or the Nexstar select 60. If I go with an electric maybe the Apprtenice, or the Nexstar, those planes are on the sim, and they are alot easier to fly than the choppers, infact it's hard for me to beleave that the sim is just like real flying. After only a few hours I can take off, land, and just fly in circles (nothing fancy yet). I think when I get my first plane and actually fly it, even though Im doing the sim alot, I think Im gonna find that actual flight is much different from the sim. Also Im going to join a local club, the meeting is this Thursday, they have instructors, and I'll probebly get the plane he advises even if it's not my first pick because Im sure he knows far more than I about all things RC panes. I already joined the AMA, the plane on the sim that I like the best is the Sig Siniorita, it just seems to handle the best to me. I've flown the planes on the sim that have the ACT circutry in them, but what I've found (for me) is that when I fly them Im not as carful because it's so much harder to crash them, but when I fly the trainers with-out any anti crash circutry, Im much more careful, and concentrate better. I hope I have a handle on all this but any advise will be greatly appriciated.
