I bought a Parkzone F-27 a little more than a year ago and crashed it the first time I flew it. I guess I just am not cut out for R/C flying.

That won't stop me from gluing it back together and tring again 8)

you get to crash as much as you want, without really crashing... that's obvious. therefore, no money spent while learning to handle the real thing (see the control? exactly the same as the real ones).

Yeah that is so you can learn to fly the planes using the controls that you have to fly the real thing with.  With me first time i flew one i was fine untill i was flying in a straight line tward me.  I banked the work way, freaked, overcorrected and crashed.  No damage cause it was a beginner plane but it was a pretty hard crash.  That is what the sim is for.

Try a real one.  It's not any easier.

One of these days I'll get my rotorcraft rating. :sigh:

maybe in spanish you will get it.

es un simulador de pc para que puedas estrellarte todas las veces que quieras durante el periodo de aprendizaje sin tener que gastar bastante dinero cada vez que cometas errores, lo cual seria la realidad con aviones a escala reales.
