Electric planes

[New3DFlyer]

I plan to fly ONLY electric planes. Which simulator would you guys recommend?

Also, what's the diff between FS One "solo" and FS One?

What does only fly electric mean? The same model with an IC or electric motor could well perform exactly the same. Only the noise would be different.

Other electric planes eg shockflyers can only be electric powered. There arn't (m)any that can only be IC powered.

What do you want to fly?

You get more replies w/sugar, than you do with salt.
Hey, I request that you calm down. If you have a bad attitude because you do not get a response when YOU want it.
WHAT are you going to do when you have your FIRST CRASH ?
Get mad at the battery? We are all in this hobby to have FUN, NOT get mad
because the world does not turn on your schedual.
Are you happy now! Now I must go fly one of my planes to RELAX.
Thank you, you just gave me another excuse to enjoy myself.
P.S.
Now that people see you have a response you might get more responses. I would give you my opion,but I do not think you would respect it very much at this time. I have REALFLIGHT G3,3.5,4.
Haha.. don't get too worked up buddy. I think you're the one who might need to calm down.


Anyways, thanks for the help ChrisE. I was not aware that those types of planes fly similarly. I fly mostly 3D foamies and small 3D balsa planes.

I was actually just about to purchase Real Flight G3.5

I said that an electric & ic version of the same plane MIGHT fly the same. The reality is that any model can be equipped with a range of motors & these can change how it flies. The power/ weight of electric v ic is now such that the power source is not a good indicator of how something will fly. Phoenix lets me tailor all the aircraft to my choice of power output etc which helps. I am not sure whether the others will let you do this.

Realistically I think that functionally there is not a lot of difference in the quality brand ones that I have tried. I would go with the one - AFPD, Phoenix, RealFlight etc that had the best range of planes that interested me & possibly look at the amateur designed planes that are available on the internet.

I own Phoenix because I prefer to use my normal flying transmitter and the upgrades are free - I now have water planes that wern't there when I purchased it etc - and it was cheaper than the others. They are promising a major (& free) fixed wing upgrade but until that appears I have a sneaky feeling that the development team are helicopter based. The promised plane designer has not yet appeared. I do not regret my choice however.
