What rc simulators are there and do you recommend using a simulator before getting a plane

[earthling1984]

@MrJstar123456 pheonix and real flight are both great. Yes, it is a good choice to fly on a sim before moving to real RC planes. This will help keep damage and costs of repairs down in the learning phase.

Hey Thomas, correct me if I'm wrong. Wouldn't it be bad for a beginner to start with a puller plane? I mean, beginners can handle these planes but shouldn't train with these planes because they should expect crashes. Pusher planes will have the motor protected back behind...

[earthling1984]

@youronlycow not at all.  Planes like the super cub and apprentice are pretty hard to 'nose in'. They hold them self up and almost fly themselves I would be amazed if that was a major problem for anyone.

i added a better prop to my apprentice and i can hover/ prop hang with it so it can do pretty amazing stuff

[earthling1984]

@kondakor1998 cool! what prop size you get? I might have to try this hehe

Thanks for this vid dude. All because of you I purchased my very first plane...the super cub. I love it. It is soooo easy to fly. Great advice earthling.

@masonkim7 doesn't look bad, but with those type of products u also get low quality foam and low quality electronics. I've owned many low quality planes/helis, and I can say none of them have flown more then 10 flights on stock electronics before some type of failure occured. The supercub and other quality planes I own; however, have 100's of flights on them, and they are still going strong like new. So the decision is go cheap, and hope it lasts, or get quality to start with.

I use Clearview flight sim

@jaggernutox Yes. I use mine on snow all the time. You can also buy cheap DuBro Park Flyer skis as well.

[jaggernutox]

ok this may sound stupid but can i use the water floater thing to take off in snow?

Apprentice is better than Super Cub. There's no point in starting with learning with rudder, and then learn aileron. Start with a 4-channel, so that you don't have to buy a new plane or go modifying a three-channel stupidity. Also, Apprentice is excellent at taking the beating. It has amazing firewall, solid motor shaft, and cheap parts. Apprentice's only weak point is the nose gear, but if you get a 2-3/4" foam wheels, you should be good. Buy an Apprentice, and you will never regret.

Flying off water is the most fun ever !!!!!! Step taxi it around and lift off from your own waves.
