Overall Rating: starstarstar

Pros: Useful practice for the management of radio control helicopters. You can prevent damage to his helicopter to practice maneuvering in this virtual option. Control has the same sensitivity that the real.

Cons: The graphics are very basic and often have problems if a helicopter flies the far-off point. The scenarios offer no alternatives, only different colors.

Other Thoughts: Is not useful as a video game, only serves to practice in the use of helicopters or aircraft radio control

Bottomline: Useful, but could be better. Relation between cost and benefits is regular.

Pros: I bought this after having it recommended to me from a friend. It has been great! I haven’t touched the software it came with, instead I used RealFlight G3.5. Setting that up took a while but the controller itself has been fantastic. Very responsive (even the trims work) and perfect for training. I’ve had mine for 4 months now and I’ve just bought another for a friend.

Cons: The controller is great for planes but lacks the extra features required to properly fly some helicopters (decreasing the engine, accelerates the helicopter towards the ground rather than simply slowing the rotors).

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: If you are interested in learning to fly or improving your skills without crashing the real thing – this product is definitely for you.

Pros: Great little USB transmitter, I bought one and was very happy with it. Saved me hundreds of dollars in parts for my trex.
Can't recommend using a sim enough. Grab one today and save your money.

Cons: Sticks are a little sharp, fingers get a little sore after a couple of hours.

Other Thoughts: A great USB transmitter simulator. Buy one before you crash your expenisive new toy.
Trim works, needs a couple of extra switches so you can practice autorotations. But for the money, its great! much cheaper than others on the market

Bottomline: Buy one.

Pros: For the money this unit works well..It's cheap and I have not found a way to shorten the sticks..BUT.. IT WORKS..EVEN the TRIM TABS WORK.. it is NOT an expensive unit but for the price it's lovely..Take the time to set it up right before you get dissapointed. Mine works like a dream..I did not open the CD because I had FMS already loaded. But on the CD you have instructions. I opened one and it was in Chinese but from watching I set up just fine. XP works great with this unit..BUY TWO. I regret I did not get one for a gift. THEY ARE GREAT

Cons: just a cheap unit, thet control sticks are not adjustable. They are longer than the sticks on the HZ Phantom.. BUT that is NOT bad.. just inconvienent

Other Thoughts: For the money you can't beat this unit. IT WORKS GREAT with FMS

Bottomline: GET TWO WHEN YOU ORDER
