I wanted to challenge myself and fly at a new spot. I found a small park that I thought I could take-off & land from. Unfortuatly the battery fell out mid-flight, so I never really did land. Luckily I found NYC’s Bravest for some help out of the tree. And the camera was rolling the entire time!

Plenty of turbine-powered radio controlled model action at another meeting of the New Zealand Jet Modeler’s Association at the Tokoroa airfield.

Just some of the action from a weekend that was yet another example of the best and worst weather this country has to offer.

Recently I read a magazine article about how my friend and fellow longtime model builder Eric Meyers was able to fly 50 different airplanes in one day using his JR 12X transmitter and a bunch of really nice airplanes. Im thinking that most of us dont have 50 airplanes. But I do (we might) have a Spektrum DX6i and I do have 10 sport flyer type airplanes. I think I can fly all 10 of them during my lunch hour. There are a variety of different types of models including a flying wing, a sailplane, a ducted fan jet, aerobatic models and a helicopter. The DX6i has the built-in capability needed to handle all these different setups. With the 10-model memory, each model has its own unique setup and trim settings so I can easily switch from one model to the other and with the DSM2 ModelMatch feature I will not have to worry whether I have the correct model memory selected.

Watch this video and see how well the DX6i works for sport modelers who are having fun with their airplanes but still need the features usually only found in high-end, more expensive, radios. Why dont you try it—it was definitely fun, and certainly something you can do yourself.

All models utilize the servo reverse, sub trim and travel adjustment features in the DX6i.

DX6i features used in these models:

Dual Aileron Servos Except for the sailplane, all models used two aileron servos.

Dual Aileron AND Dual Elevator Servos Ducted Fan F-16

Elevons Flying Wing with electronic wing type mix for left and right elevon servos.

Dual Flight modes The helicopter has Normal and Aerobatic flight modes; the sailplane has Climb (power on) and Soaring flight modes (both are switch-activated)

Dual Rates The aerobatic airplanes use rudder, elevator and aileron dual rates on individual switches (can be assigned to one switch pilots choice).

Separate Throttle and Pitch curves with multi-point settings The helicopter uses all of the features required for a 3D aerobatic helicopter

This is a technique for making paper airplanes that look like almost any aircraft in the world, and the best part is they actually fly. All you need is a piece of paper, a pair of scissors, a small piece of tape, and access to a printer if you want it to have a paint job.

Ive made it work with the following aircraft

ClearView (requires no special RAM or Video cards) has added RC Cars to their Sim. I aggressively show how the cars work! I have purchased sims over the years and I’ve got most of them too. I even worked for RealFlight.
For value, the graphics are good, & flight physics are very real! This is a good training aid and tool to teach orientation and coordination for less $ and Cars are a BLAST!

The Graphics are great in the latest version.

You can download it for free to try it out and see if it works on you computer. If it does, simply get the activation key and your in business.

The Aircraft and Heli Flight Physics are tremendous and should give all the top notch simulator makers a run for their money.

No matter what, it is all about learning how to fly, so that is the most important anyway….how it flies.

These models fly like the real thing to me.

All the parameters can be changed on the cars too, to adjust braking, swerving, rollovers, etc.

You can also turn on smoke, etc.

There are 40 planes, 40 helicopters and 6 cars on this program.

Quite a deal these days for only $40.

Here is the link to there website.
http://www.rcflightsim.com Check it out.

Now the folks who can”t fly, can drive and have fun too.

I am using the Art Tech TX and Cord on one computer and the ESKY ($19.95) simulator TX with cord on my laptop with no problems.

I don’t use recording software, as it is hard to narrate and to navigate the options when it is running, but thanks for asking.

Have fun.
I highly recommend this program.
