From the article: Learn to Fly With RC Flight Simulation Software
With RC flight simulators and a virtual plane or helicopter you can learn the basics of RC flight without damaging your RC. And RC flight sims have an added bonus -- they're a great way to entertain yourself when it's too cold, wet, or windy to fly a real RC airplane or helicopter.
But which of the many free and not-so-free RC flight simulation programs are the best at teaching you how to fly? Which are the most fun, easiest to learn, or best value? Tell us which ones you've used and which you would or would not recommend, and why. Which is Your Favorite?

RealFlight
- I haven't used all the flight sims but I've tried several of the free ones. Like the price but not the features. Just not enough controls or models or customizing features. RealFlight cost a lot more (got my dad to buy it for me for bday) but it also has losts more to offer. I've been real happy with it. I may still try out others just to see but I dought any of them will be able to compare.

Say No to Clearview
- (reposted from a blog comment) Clearview rc flight sim is not the program to purchase. They have very poor support and god forbid that you have to uninstall the program and need to reinstall it. They will not answer your email but are happy to take your money, Don;t plan on using it forever as they do not help and they have no phone number to resolve any kind of issue.
