I am new to RC Flying and began reading a lot of magazines and trying to find books to tell me what is what about the planes. I then new there was no doubt that I was going to buy a plane. So for Christmas my wife bought me the FS ONE flight simulator. It is expensive $209 but it was well worth it. I comes with a transmitter similar to what you would use at the airfield and when you get ready to buy a your plane your transmitter can be used on the simulator.

I then went to a RC airfield and began to talk to the guys and a member asked me if i wanted to fly and said he got a new training transmitter and wanted to try it out. I jumped at the chance and told him I have never flown a plane before. He smiled and said no biggie I will teach you.

He ran me through some of the pre-flight tests and off to the runway went. Anyways, to make this lonnnnnng story short. He told me to do some turns and then asked. "You have never flown before?" I told him, "No, but I have the FS ONE flight Simulator and fly that a lot." He said, "You will have no problems flying."

My point as I am sure you probably have figured it out. The flight simulator helped me a ton. I read some books and magazines to figure out what the planes do and what the parts are practiced with the simulator. It was amazing how realistic the simulator and actually flying was.

The video and realism is amazing. Here is the website: www.fsone.com

Good luck
