Just think of all the saved money represented by the battered airplane and helicopter carcasses that must surely fill the electronic RC graveyards in our computers.ĭespite its obvious utility, a simulator still requires diligence and commitment to be effective. Whether you are a beginner, learning the rudiments, or a hot stick, polishing the latest 3-D gyration, the benefit of simulator time is unquestioned.

Now, all the modern simulators are pretty good, and it's hard to pick one that's `the best'. So they got back to work and eventually put out RFG3, which was a big improvement.
