New Flyer here, I have a glow .40 Hobbico trainer, 1 .46 ExtraEasy trainer and ordered the Hobbyzone Cub to learn on first. i have been playing with RF for a week and have the cub flying great with no issues, i found safe mode was ok for the first couple flights but really hampers the aircrafts turning radius. i have mixed my glow training to the PT-40 and NextStar, since they closely resemble the ExtraEasy and Superstar trainers i have. the pt-40 is slightly faster due to shorter wingspan, with the Nextstar being able to fly slower on takeoff and landing.
the Cub should be delivered in a week, and i planned on flying it for a while before moving up to my glow trainer, and was thinking of buddy boxing the first day of flying at the club. I have a very large field in front of my house so most of my flying will be at home.
my question;
How would you rate RF to the real deal?
with settings turned to realistic, wind set to real world levels etc, how much of a difference am i looking at when flying the real thing? RF seems easy to fly these trainers, and with careful and conservatives flying i can handle the larger E-Flite Mustang, though i really have to be on point and not try anything stupid.
Also, what advice would you offer to a new flyer in order to learn the most from the simulator?
