SchoooBaka- Ive tried my stock axe radio with other sims and it didn't work. I do have real flight and is the best thing I ever bought. It is the reason I have the axe. I couldn't have tought my self with out it, I highly recomend you find a way to buy real flight g3, maby charge it or something it has saved me alot of $$$$$$$$$. I think alot of people give up, or get vary frustrated with flying helis cause they rush and crash alot. sim helped me greatly, hovered through second charge thanks to real flight. If you buy it, you can upgrade it online to g3.5 and it has the axe cp on it. I hope every thing works for you and good luck. take your time or parts will end up costing you more than the sim would have
