jamesc43, it's just a cheapo, don't remember the brand cost like $40. The SIM's I have used for fixed wing have been nothing like the real thing so I couldn't justify spending $100+ for one to see if I like flying a heli.
Everything I fly is electric, brushless or outrunner, LiPo.
Never flown at either the high school or elem school, I border nat'l forest so I just put my plane(s) on the rack of my ATV and head out to a nice meadow about 4 miles from my house.
