Are they really worth it?

[danb]

Hi guys, being 15 I dont have much money.

But...

I believe i can fork out enough for Phoenix if it is really that good, will it help me learn how to fly any helicopter from the small twitchy ones to the bug nitro ones? I just dont want to spend £85 on something that wont help me at all.

Many thanks

Does a bear shit in the woods?

Sorry, I have yet to hear anyone who uses Phoenix who doesn't prefer it to the others, even some yanks.

yes phoenix is worth it.

you need a tx too but skyline are packaging it up with a cheap tx for 100ukp

This should be on your list to Santa.

Any simulator will help you get up and going. The more stick time you can put in the better. Cheapest option is CSM V10. You could probably pick up a second hand copy for around £10-£15. Old in the looks stake but the physics aren't that bad.

It'll not have the small electric stuff but for such a small budget you aren't looking to be getting one any time soon.

Well i should have Phoenix around Feb time. Ill order it then and play

My usual unbiased view is Phoenix is well worth the investment..

Any simulator will pay for itself in a reduction in crashes with the real model

Have owned or used most sims to date and Phoenix has all the right qualities from many other sims all rolled into 1

Product support is the best i have ever seen..

Very highly recommended from me

Does it have small electrics similar to my twister on it so i can learn with that?

[Ade_Law]

yes it has the trex and a CP micro.
