I'm on a budget, but should I stick with FMS, or should I get RealFlight G4? :confused: FMS is a Free RC flight simulator. Which one should I get?

If you have a Transmitter, get you a sim cable and go with FMS, its not as pretty as RFg4 but the princable is the same, it will teach you how to fly, controls are the same, but maybe not a acurate as a top notich High Priced G4.

But if you dont have a TX, or sime cable.
I would keep my eyse peeled for Realflight G4, I got mine on here from a very swell guy, for $135.00, but you may get it for less, if you find the right person and talk right. Dont try to jew them into a corner just tell them you need it and this X amount is all I got.

Or you can get G3 which is probly just as good as G4 maybe a little less flash. It maybe upgradable to 3.5 not sure.

A sim is a good as investment as a cheap starter heli. If I was going to start from scrach, and never flew, I'd get a sim, and a Honey Bee Fixed Pitch heli. Unless your into planes, I just saw your blog, not sure on planes new to this myself.

Hope this help some.

Realflight is the best one out there IMO, 200 new, but you can find it cheaper.

Phoenix is another one out there, Im not sure of the price, I think its 129, some say its the best but another say it sucks. Idk, haven't tried it yet.

FSOne isn't to bad and its 100 new.

ClearView is also very good and is only 40, get free upgrades for life but you have to buy your own transmitter to fly with.

Just letting you know there are sims of all prices, search around and see what you find about them.
