rc planes
hey this might not be for you. but go out and try the real thing before you make your final decision, i tried a sim first with a rc radio instead of a joy stick that will aleast let you get the feeling a little better but it still is nothing like flying the real thing when you no one screw up and crash try it then make up your mind.you might like it if not to eachs own some people like soccer i dont

You cant smell the fresh grass or the trees or other local flora that might be in your area on a sim...
You cant hear the chinkle of the ice or the psshhh of a cold one being opened as you sit down to chat with your mates about the days flying......
After my first flight with our newly formed club the best part of the day was to sit and chat with a cold beer at the end of the day at how succesful the days flying was.....Try doing that on a sim.

mccabejc,
Their is so much that you can do with an R/C airplane. You can Race, do stunt, sport flying, flying a jet, flying an airplane the size of your car. Their is so much that you can do with a R/C airplane. The sim doesn'r do much except let you get a small part of flyin a plane. You don't get any of the smells, fun, and learning that you can get at an airfield. You just get to fly an airplane.
