Flight Simulations

If you've flown before, you know that it's not easy. That's where flight simulations come in. If you don't want to worry about wrecking your plane or damaging your electronics, you can practice your flying stress-free using a variety of simulations.

Types of Flight Simulations

When it comes to flight sims, there are two main types: Flight Training Devices (FTD) and Full Flight Simulators (FFS). Full Flight Simulators are a full-size replica of a specific make or model and they have flight decks which can represent the plane in both ground and flight operations. Essentially, they are exact copies of a plane that doesn't fly. I won't go into too much detail on FFSs because they are very complicated, which is why they aren't as relevant for RC planes (their main use is for airlines).
