my "Real Flight" r/c simulator videos

Post Reply New Topic

Having discovered a cool program called Fraps, I decided I would put together a few instructional and fun videos for anyone who might be interested in learning to fly radio-controlled helicopters. There's a couple airplane videos in here too, just for fun. (The website in all the links is mine; the site name might be confusing in a hobby context if you didn't know that.)

EDIT: I've added in Youtube versions for your convenience. But since they disappoint in quality, I also left the original links below.


1. how to fly an r/c helicopter, part 1: the left-hand control stick's movement is shown in real time, controlling the throttle and rudder functions:

2. how to fly an r/c helicopter, part 2: the right-hand control stick's movement is shown in real time, which moves the heli forward, then backward, then left, and then right:

I added in the Youtube versions in the previous post, even though they're significantly lower video quality.
