One popular way of learning how to fly RC airplanes and helicopters is by using RC flight simulation software. If you use your own controller it can be a lot like flying the real thing. But an even more realistic experience -- short of signing up for flight school -- would be sinking into The Dream Flyer Full Motion Flight Simulator. This special pilot chair combined with any flight simulation software provides the ultimate indoor flying experience -- for learning to fly or just having fun.

Imagine and feel yourself in the cockpit of a real airplane or a radio controlled one. Set this chair in any room, plug in your monitor and plug the chair's USB connectors into your computer, start up your flight sim software and fly off into the wild blue yonder. The Dream Flyer consists of a motion chassis, bracket for your monitor, pilot seat, throttle, control stick, and rudder pedals.

Buy Direct from Red Rocket Hobby Shop for about $3,000.
