Radio control plane .guide 1.0
The best r/c model plane guide on the net
Welcome at rc-plane-guide.com
This page is a guide to the exiting world of rc plane models. The content on this page is highly useable by beginners in rc planes due to the beginners guide, flight school, buyers guide and the model reviews. The primary content on this page is fixed and rotary wing (helis) rc model aircrafts. However other reviews and tips might pop up in categories like rc boats, rc cars, rockets, rc parachutes, onboard video camera systems and so on. If you have comments to this homepage do not hesitate to contact.
radio control @ simulators
Introduction: This section discusses the different radio control plane and helicopter simulators found on the market today. A model plane simulator is one of the most important tools for the modern rc plane pilot. Whether you are a beginner in this hobby or a long time seasoned rc flight freak. For beginners they are used to learn basic skills like taking off, landing , turning and simple manouvres like loops. For the intermediate and advances pilot they are used to improve skill in e.g. aerobatics or the popular 3D flying. Beginners can join the simulator pilots with freeware programs, but experienced modellers will probably find more fun in the commercial available simulators.
