- I've tried to use FS3 for R/C training in the very beginning of my R/C
- "career", and was quite disappointed. The simulated Cessna doesn't
- handle like any R/C plane I've flown yet. So I checked all flight
- simulators I could get my hands on and finally I've stayed with Chuck
- Yeager's Air Combat, cause the flight simulation is so simple that it
- almost resembles real R/C planes. Although the power of the engines is
- not scale (very low, in fact) it can help you in getting used to some
- simple pattern maneuvres (there's no rudder, though) ...
- Yeager's Air Combat is my choice of taste and I'm sure that other
- pilot's would recommend different software ...

- Bye,
