I can't believe the importance of practice, I would never have thought that the use of a simulator would be anything near to that of real life in the flesh flying, but TBH ten mins of hovering a week aint gonna cut anything, you will never become a pilot doing it that way, I know this now, and the realisation has only hit me this week.
As most are aware I had issues with my Trex100x so was not able to use it and while it was away being fixed I did not have the controller which is what I was using with the sim.....
had The heli back last weekend and used loads of Batteries through it and its getting to feel like I have some idea where it is gonna go when I throw it in the air,
But back to the subject Clearview, or any other sim, people think that they are not realistic like myself, I have not spent out on the expensive one its just a feeling of playing a computer game that throws me, but HELL NO, spent about an hour on the sim last night flying both heli's and planes, YES PLANES, I had great fun, especially with the PLANE, lol..... I did not think it would give me so much thought but the practice you get with directional control is great, as I am new this, this is where I suffer greatly.
By the end of the session I could fly around myself with a plane and nearly land it, and the heli's I was pushing around and the feeling of knowing what direction it was going and most of the time be able to catch and correct it, dont get me wrong real life does not have a reset button, but hell if you can use a sim I recon for 15 mins a day your flying will improve greatly, especially people that are new to this hobby as like ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just thought I would give you all this revolution, Dont think you will make a tail dragger of me yet but flying them in the sim was great fun............
