What happens if you Practice on RC Simulators

[dresAdventures]

i use phoenix rc. sims do shorten the learning curve drastically, before sims i had to go thru the learning process and progress to a collective pitch. only a few weeks after the sim i was doing fast forward flight and my orientation improved leaps n bounds, yay phoenix

[ErickSchwartzVlog]

aerofly is better in all ways

[randall1959]

I have Phoenix and I agree that simulators are the best way to start learning and sharpening your skills. When I first started rc flying 20 years ago, I learned on a "stick man" Dave Brown simulator. The interface was a metal box. But you know what? It taught me all I needed to know. I practiced all winter and in the spring I did my first maiden. I still use sims whenever I want to try something new. Great way to learn!

[HeliFlightRCU]

@randall1959 How do you like the simulators today compared to your first sim?

[xXBlackElmoXx]

Yess! My skills have inproved!:D

Hehe(X Hopefully someday i'll sound as happy as you did*.

Good work man(:

[adventureher0]

fake thats not a simulator don't try to trick us :(

[MrEvolutionist]

@adventureher0 trolling?

[TheWarbirdPhoenix]

It is so weird,using G5.5 along with Flight simulators(X-plane & FSX). I've noticed my mind getting extremely sharp,although overloading at times. I'm still in a sense a aviation virgin but wow,I need to be punished I'm having so much fun. :D

[Joseph4Lakers]

@poveyno1 try trimming the heli.

[12brassmonkey]

I'm a beginner with rc helicopters. I am looking for an outdoor helicopter with a reasonable price range of $80 or less..any suggestions

[darraghryancork]

6 months of flying and I am now entering novice competitions, flying with a club, and flying very smooth! GET OFF HERE AND GO SIMULATE!!!

[Azariel1996]

nice Ali!

The best moves ever seen by myself and all your tutor videos are very very good i say!!

Had been having problems with my Heli and with your videos,im improving!

Thanks for the great recording !Keep on the good work!

Harris

[Avecfort]

Great work man!



[satgod]

any sim will help you

it teaches your reflexes what to do when you get in trouble

you also learn how not to over compensate for it because as the angle of the heli changes people tend to tilt it to much to one side

I find it hard to believe that this video is after 1 hour on a sim with no other help and no other flight experience

a sim will save you alot of $, I learned all my inverted flight on a sim first

use it as a tool and not a toy and it works

[xToXiicxT3RRoRx]

whats the best 6 channel simulator? FMS the 3D model?

[alishanmao]

@xToXiicxT3RRoRx realflight G5

[MrJoaoAfonso]

@xToXiicxT3RRoRx Phoenix Rc and Realflight G5.5 I have both

[4444mongo]

@MrJoaoAfonso i want to but real flight g5.5 is it any good or is the phoenix better

[MrJoaoAfonso]

@4444mongo They are both good Realflight is better for planes, phoenix is better for helis ;)

[AmadeuPSJunior]

@xToXiicxT3RRoRx - To me, no one beats Phoenix.

[AmadeuPSJunior]

@xToXiicxT3RRoRx - To me, it´s Phoenix RC.

[VK3fmll]

@xToXiicxT3RRoRx Pheonix RC is pretty good!

[Master22Productions]

@xToXiicxT3RRoRx realflight 6

[blackhawk438]

I bought Phoenix flight simulator

[darraghryancork]

To anyone who say's flying ona sim is bullshit, it's not, trust me... i never flew in my life untill a week ish before xmas, gota cp gold, by flight 7 i was flying circuits... short hops were only for one flight, no walking, no shit...

[guajardoful]

After that, I will buy Real Flight G5 Simulator, Thanks

[Mambero75]

Lol yeah 1 hour on the trick fair enough. I can say that when I practiced on the sim for 2 weeks, got my first plane, I could fly it around and landed it on my second attempt (instructor helped on the first) so yeah the sim definitely does help. I've been enjoying realflight 4.5 for over a year now :-)

[HappySCVResident]

I'm not buying this claim. Doesn't happen like this.

[wcwickedclown]

good job brother in rc.

[robocong7420]

bullshit this is one hour of training. that's plain bullshit. maybe one hour a day, every day, for 2 weeks.

[alishanmao]

@robocong7420 calm down. 1 hours of practice and I am doing that trick. thats what I mean. not 1 hour of practice and I am flying like that lol.

[lothar2048]

@alishanmao : So your 3 years of learning does not count on your calculations... I guess this was a bullshit try too....

[alishanmao]

@lothar2048 you are misunderstanding my statements as well. This video meant for one trick only that i learned practicing on sim in an hour. Of course my 3 or 4 years of flying experience counts greatly too. But these days we never try to learn a new trick in real life. we learn it practice it on sim and then perform it on real helis. Hope this clears out your bullshit

[lothar2048]

@alishanmao : I knew, this was a bad joke and i saw that you explained it as well. But i'd liked to make the joke... So i retrieve my comment to give you a B+...

[alishanmao]

@lothar2048 Its all good :)

[xxxlex]

Hi Alishanno,

Nice vid, excellent flying!

Where can I download the model you used in Realflight?

Realflight learned me some tricks too (loop, nose-in, flip). Did wreck two models in real life though, one pilot error, one material failure (broken servo horn).

[alishanmao]

@xxxlex go to knife edge swap forums and you can find tons of stuff to download

[trexinvert]

There are two types of people who fly simulators. Gamers and real rc pilots. Gamers just want to do tricks and fly the most easiest(dominion 90) simulator model. For real rc pilots you need to fly most challenging/hardest conditions. Turn up the physics(I use 135%), add wind, fly the crappy helimaxe axe cp simulator model. It's like weight training. Need maximum resistance to become faster/skillful.

[alishanmao]

@trexinvert will keep the tip in mind and give it a try. yes, that helimax axe cp is great heli to learn hehehehe i use it often

[frankovich213]

I've never seen a dude so happy that his skills had improved! Well done brother!

I hopefully am getting Real Flight Basic Tomorrow to start learning how to fly my Blade 400. I flew it once and it crashed violently within 5 seconds, so I repaired it and it went back in the box where it will stay until I learn on the flight sim!

Thanks for helping me decide to get one!

[dannne82]

on my sim i fly 3d in real 2d only, there are differences... im using g4.5

[trexinvert]

@dannne82 Yes, there is a big difference. Mainly, sim's are set-up for "gaming".  Fun, easy, cool, no crash cost. For "real productive practice" you need to explore different parameters, try restrictive flight environments, higher physics, and tweak the pitch/throttle curves(yes you can customize this just like a real tx). I personally have start/stopped using the sim about 5 times. Now I practice 30 minutes before my daily 8 flights. My trex500 has 2070 flights only 9 crashes.

[mrfourtysevenman]

you did not already know how to fly helis?

[alishanmao]

@mrfourtysevenman I knew how to fly them but now I am learning and practicing 3D :) and aerobatics

[mrfourtysevenman]

@alishanmao

ya the simulator helps.

i spent most of my free time in the sim and now that im in a club, i do all these stunts in my u can do that some of the other members never even heard of.

and 2 things. im 15 and just got into rc last summer.

[LeChave]

Hi Ali!! Man, I didn't think you could improve your flying skills any further!! ;o)

Sounds like a sweet bird that Drago 450!! Keep up the great vids!!!

[alishanmao]

@LeChave Well I am improving on daily basis. Now trying to learn to inverted hover and flight, and bring my Drago450 or King 4 closer to ground on inverted hover, and also practicing Tic tocs :D

[LeChave]

@alishanmao I look forward to seeing that!! (hopefully without a tragic crash at the end lol!) ;o)

[alishanmao]

@2cold88 If you wanna learn well on realflight, choose the crappiest heli. I use realflight G3.5 (Just bought G5) but still prefer practicing on Realflight G3.5 using Heli Max MX450. that heli is as real as it gets to real life. its not easy to control so if you practice using this heli, and later fly your helicopter outdoors, you will feel your heli in real life is more stable hahaha

[person2000000]

Dude where could i get the simulator you use for vista!

[alishanmao]

@person2000000 Go for Realflight G5

[ladykiller0005]

hey Ali, great video . I was also thinking that you got a hold lot of subscriber, who are really dedicated and watch all most all you videos because thank you your videos are really beneficial. anyways seeing that you are a person that has a whole lots of RC Vehicle I THINK THAT YOU SHOW HAVE SOME GIVE AWAYS AT LEAST ONCE IN A WHILE. I'm sure that everyone who is a Subscriber to you Channel will agree with me can you please consider it. And thanks again for the great videos ..

[alishanmao]

@ladykiller0005 Problem is I am in China and giving away means, if for instance, I give away a plane to you, the shipping will cost you almost the same price that you can buy a new plane at your place LOL, so still want me to give away something to you?

[megertron]

@alishanmao yes hehehe

[heberorozco]

looks like you dont like 2.4 Ghz helis

[chiosex]

Excellent flying as alway Ali, great vids.

[alishanmao]

@chiosex Thanks mate

[chiosex]

Very nice! I still suck at helis but sims have helped me to be be able to fly inverted and some basic stunt manouvers on planes in real life flying, I tell all my friends that want to fly to get a sim 1st just even to get used to orientation in the 3rd person perspective.

[alishanmao]

@chiosex Sims are must

[damiana9015]

Very good Ali, practice makes perfect! I use Phoenix sim and it saves a lot of money! Not tried Realflight, but even the cheapest sim's like Flightmaster are worth the investment!

[alishanmao]

@damiana9015 Yup, Flight sim = less crash = less money spent

[bassax7045]

thanks ali ,got all sorted now,,and servos arrived,,,,,VERY well flown friend,,ive practised all winter on sim ,but doubt if i could do this the way you do,,

sims are great to learn inverte controls until its a automatism ,,saves you a lot of crashes repairs and spending on new parts though.and is fun to do things you wouldnt dare to do for real.

[alishanmao]

@bassax7045 Yup, so be brave and go out and get your real heli out there to see how it performs. :)

[bassax7045]

@alishanmao,, im eager to ,but waiting for 6s lipos and loader ,,shipping has been delayed in europe trough grounding of airplanes ,because of vulcanic dustcloud,

ever heard of murphys law? whatever can go wrong does go wrong ;-))

[UnknownDeathNinja]

For a while my dad thought that flying inverted was impossible and that in the sim it was a glitch!

[alishanmao]

@UnknownDeathNinja Now you know its possible

[Admiral1428]

I love practicing on the sim!

[wcwickedclown]

awesome job ali

[poerik]

lol i learned to fly on a sim ..

works great but you must put some hours in it !

grtzzzz

[alishanmao]

@poerik yup, more time you put in it, more skills you get

[luki01111]

@poerik what sim to u have ?

[poerik]

@luki01111

i use Phoenix rc and realflight g 4.5 aerofly pro deluxe

grtzzz

[StillBallinDriftTeam]

good flying there bro

[thedjgee]

Great flying Ali you are making progress very fast. Im having trouble with the heligods, my motor gave up on me today got one order so no flying this week, and hobby king is behind with orders ;-(. Take some time to watch my vids en comment. !!

[alishanmao]

@thedjgee sure will do

[L0otMyHouse]

Damn, i thought this was for the yak54. I was gonna say that was quick practice LOL :)
