Which sim program for mini-copters?

Thread Starter

Hi all,
I'm looking to increase my chances of flying my new fixed pitch Honeybee without crashing it withing the first 10 seconds. Is there a simulater program out there that is more appropriate for learning to fly small electric helicopters than other programs? I imagine that micro copters are much different to fly than the larger nitro jobs, so simulating a .30 size nitro copter might be helpful, but not as helpful as I might want it to be.
It would be best if the controller for the sim program is a two stick box like a transmitter. What has worked best for you?
Thanks,
Will

I have the FMS sim. It used my computer and it used my radio that I use to fly my heli. I think you can download it free off the web and there is even a link on how to build a real simple cable depending on the type of radio you have.
