What is the best way to learn to fly r/c helicopters?
The best way to learn to fly an r/c helicopter is to first purchase a quality computer simulator. A modern computer is essential for the simulators to run smoothly. The Realflight G2 and Realflight G3 simulators are excellent and very popular. Also, the Reflex simulator is known to have amazing graphics, but is more difficult to operate and adjust. Don’t be fooled into buying lesser simulators or game type simulators. Note that there is a major difference between simulators such as the Microsoft games, as these programs simulate flying from within an aircraft, but we want to simulate flying a model r/c aircraft from outside the model. Do I have to know how to fly an r/c airplane before I learn to fly a helicopter? No. I wish someone would have told me that when I started. Many pilots learn to fly helis first. The transition from helis to planes is much easier than the transition from planes to helis. Flying a plane around is similar to flying a helicopter around, so they do share some
