FREE RC HELICOPTER SIMULATOR PROGRAMS

I don’t even want to give the topic of free RC helicopter simulator programs any time, never mind devote an entire web page to them. Unfortunately I have to because free RC flight Simulators are hurting our hobby.

Why would I say such a thing? Easy – the plane and helicopter simulations are so easy, they give people a false sense of confidence only to come back from the flying field with a helicopter or airplane in many small pieces.

Yes there are a number of free RC flight simulators that you can down-load. They are actually entertaining and are not too bad at simulating RC airplane flight.

RC helicopters are a completely different story. The ones I tried are so far from what a RC heli flies like, I don’t know why they even put a helicopter on the menu.

The planes are much easier to fly than real RC airplanes and the helicopters are ridiculously easy to fly. How easy – well lets just say it is harder flying a Spinmaster Havoc toy mini helicopter than the helis in these simulators…they are that bad.


These free RC simulators of course don’t come with a quality USB adapted radio so you have to use a joy stick or key board... remember what I said about that – bad.

Even if they did it wouldn’t make any difference. I have actually been able to configure these free rc helicopter simulator programs to work with my Real Flight USB Radio, and it didn’t help much.


Bottom line, free rc helicopter flight simulators make somewhat entertaining video games, but you will never learn to fly a RC helicopter with one.

You get what you pay for. If you want to find out about good quality RC helicopter flight simulators - click on that link. After all, a good hobby grade RC helicopter can cost over a thousand dollars. Do you really want to risk crashing it the first day out by thinking you know how to fly it by practicing on a free simulator down load - not likely!
