Yeah it seems like it's between realflight and pheonix. I've seen clearview, but I'm not sure it's what I'm looking for. Do you (or anyone else) know if, when using the DX5i if I can plug my Futaba...

Sim to suit my needs?

Hey all,

RE: Is Electric Smoke Possible

There are smoke mufflers for small engines (.40 and under) that don't produce enough heat to make good amounts of smoke, I see no reason why a smoke muffler couldn't still be used in this situation. ...
