I purchased a flight sim the other day. I had the tail in hover down pat, as well as left and right orientation without one, but now that I am trying nose in hovering, I was having trouble with the backwards stick movement, so I spent $20 bucks on a simulater. Unbelievable how fast I got hand eye co-ordination to hover nose in, as well as actually flyin around, Givin er too. I must have crashed about 100 times, but didn't cost a dime and no down time. LOL!! Would have cost me a bunch with out the sim. Best $20 bucks i've spent! Would have been $100's if it was my heli!!!

YES, now you know how the rest of us feel about sims, greatest tool you could possibly use.

Which sim do you have? I spending way much to money on parts ha

i use reallfight 3.5.. it cost around 150 bucks but well worth it.. taught me how to hover in about a week,,, before that i was crashing every time i tried to hover.. you can probably finf realflight version 3 on the for sale forums for under a hundred bucks whick aint bad. it will save you that over and over on parts..\\

now you can just get the esky sim for 20 bucks.. of course it is not as good as rf or any of the other top sims but it will teach you how the sticks work especially when flying the heli facing you.. jake..
