RC Plane Flight Simulators

November 17, 2008

RC Plane Flight Simulators such as Hangar 9′s FS One, SVK Systems ClearView, Great Planes RealFlight and IPACS AeroFly, along with some freeware packages, the most popular being Flying Model Simulator (FMS), provide great training and skill honing for the RC pilot.

An RC flight simulator is a computer program that allows pilots of radio-controlled aircraft to practice on a computer, without the risk and expense of a damaging a real model. Besides the obvious use of training beginners, they are also used for practicing new aerobatics and evaluating a model before buying it, and of course for flying when it’s dark and raining!
