Radio-controlled models ... How much is interesting in this! After all, what could be simpler and more attractive than buying a slender handsome airplane (or helicopter) and launching it on a flight? Such "aircraft" in stores sold a sufficient number. Some can serve for years, others can fall apart at the first rough landing. Which one you choose is up to you. Of course, it is worth paying attention to the recommendations of sellers, reading various forums of aircraft enthusiasts, and just see how well the subject of your desire is fulfilled. However, buying a model is just the beginning.
The first flight is joy or sorrow?
You bought your long-awaited air miracle, brought it home, unpacked it, made sure that the RC models had no damage, charged the battery (or charged, depending on the type of engine), went into the yard, first run, take-off, flew a bit, start the plane on landing ... and suddenly the plane bites its nose and crashes into the ground. If you launched the plane into the sky for the first time, then you are very lucky if everything happens without an accident.
So what is the matter? Even if you controlled the plane in the game, and very masterly, these skills in real life can not only interfere, but even harm - the physics in the game and real life sometimes diverge greatly. How to solve this problem, and not break your purchase on the first lap?
Simulators solve problems!
Yes, it is simulators that can help you understand how to pilot a radio-controlled model. Only these are not the simulators you played - X-Plane and MSFS will not help you here. In order to deal with uncomplicated flight rules, you must download special software that can simulate the flight physics of a real radio-controlled model.
How to start a workout? There are two options:
- Keyboard. Only if you try to engage in such a scheme, you can forget about successful flights. The fact is that the keyboard cannot transmit forces to the joystick; with its help, in principle, it will not be possible to create an imitation of a real transmitter.
- Transmitter connected to a PC. This method is almost perfect, using the transmitter, you can adapt to control the virtual model as well as the real one. The advantage of this method is that you use the remote control from your plane (helicopter), which allows you to get used to controlling your aircraft.
Do not flatter yourself ...
Exactly. It’s not necessary, accustomed to control on a PC, to consider that in the field you can control the airplane just as beautifully. The simulator is just a primitive program, which, although it tries to create a feeling of the real sky, copes with this with only a maximum of a quarter. But you can get used to managing using such programs quite quickly. However, in the field - caution and caution again. Good luck flying!
