Flying remote control helicopters isn't just an outdoor hobby. In fact many RC helos work better indoors than out, no matter the time of year, or what's happening with the weather outside. Helicopter flying is a different playtime event all together. You need plenty of practice, and time to develop a feel for making an aircraft hover over a specific target. Whether you're on a rescue mission, moving into position to drop a harness to the stranded mountain climber or sinking ship victim, or even lowering in for a landing, any slight wind gust threatens to push you aside. Outside or inside a micro-movement of the control lever, and you suddenly shift many feet away from your target. Try landing on the...

Walkera 5G6 discussion/ review                     This little helicopter is my first co-axial helicopter. I bought the Walkera 5G6 with metal rotor head and the 2.4G transmitter. It’s a bit more expensive than the standard Walkera 5G6 with plastic rotor head and normal 35 or 72 MHz transmitter. The Walkera 5G6 is the same size as the Walkera 4#3. The only difference is that the Walkera 5G6 have two counter rotating main rotor blades, and no tail rotor. Compared to the Walkera 4#3, the Walkera 5G6 weighs 53g, slightly heavier due to the extra main motor. As I said in my Walkera 4#3 review, Walkera’s designing engineers have done it again to put a superb little helicopter (the...

It had somehow appeared tattered and weathered-and lifeless. The closed metal gates at the entrance to the dirt-and-grass parking lot impeded vehicle entrance. The chain extended across the covered, wooden footbridge, gateway to the grass airfield and time portal to the barnstorming era of aviation, sported a simple sign: "Sorry. We're Closed." Having made numerous trips here over the years, I remember it when it had taken on life, its arteries pumped by the sound of rotary engines; the smell of castor oil; the aromas of hamburgers cooking on the canteen's grill; the characters, such as the Black Baron and Trudy Truelove; the mock dogfights of the biplanes; and the roar of the audience, for whom it...

So what can you do with a Cessna simulator? What is a Cessna simulator good for? Perhaps the right question to ask is: "What can't you do with a Cessna simulator that can be done in a real airplane"?

Another thing is that with a computer-based flight simulator, you obviously won't experience the effects of G-forces, turbulence, or bumpy landings. Aside from these, everything else is the same: You can take off, land, climb, descend and turn. You can navigate across the simulated "world" using simulated navigation equipment. Your flight simulator can even "run out of fuel". The way in which flight simulator...
