This Professional RC Helicopter Simulator is a must have for anyone flying RC. The models fly like real RC helicopters, and can be used to learn to fly and to improve your flying. A lot of fun for not much money! Any helicopter crash cost many times more, and you will be able to fly in the rc simulator no matter what is the weather outside! The app is based on our well known ClearView RC Flight Simulator for PC. The program includes four models:
Blast CX - beginner coaxial model, self leveling and stable, good for making your first steps.
Twister Coast Guard - scale coaxial model, for beginner to intermediate flyer.
TRex 450 - collective pitch electric helicopter. Very hard to learn, if you fly this one, you can fly them all. We have included beginner setup, in addition to settings for intermediate and advanced 3d fliers.
C46 Sea Knight - twin rotor scale electric helicopter with collective pitch. It is a big model that flies in scale like fashion.
The program includes 3 flying fields:
Osage Park
Tangamanga
Island Fliers
The program includes 3 interactive object sets that can be loaded on any flying field. The interactive objects can be used for learning landing and precise model control.
In addition to the fixed point camera that represents the RC pilot point of view, we have included follow up camera that allows for walking behind the model. That is useful when you just start, so the model never gets away.

Notes:
1. This is not a game. You are controlling flying RC models that reacts like real flying models. It takes some time to learn, and again, do not expect "arcade" style controls.
2. The onscreen control sticks are just indicators! They are made small so they do not obscure the screen.
*** You do not need to keep your fingers on them ***
Sliding your finger anywhere on the right screen half affects the right control stick , the same for the left screen part - sliding finger there moves the left control stick.
We suggest selecting beginner settings at first few days before you can comfortably progress further.
Reviews
Pretty good, could be improved.

I fly real rc helicopters. The sim with no autopilot turned on is about like flying without a gyro. With expert mode ap on, its pretty close to a modern rc Heli. Needs more control over on screen controls like expo, etc. Pretty good for the price though. Add on heli models should be priced lower in my opinion. $1 each would work.
Great app!!!

I flew real R/C helis from tiny electrics to 60 and 90 size glow plus a Bell Ranger scale 60 machine. That was 25-30 years ago. I also finished 1st - Sportsman, 1988 Nats, 2nd - Expert, 1989 Nats and 1st - Masters, 1990 Nats in Pattern Fixed wing Aerobatics. Since then a busy career took me away from R/C but I got back into helis a few years ago. This app is amazing considering the price! The sim action in expert mode is very real and can give you hours and hours of safe practice. Beginners can fly safely with AP mode on while getting the basics understood in all orientations. My compliments to the developers on doing a great job! James McMasters Irving, Texas
Heli Sim
V3.7
Please make app preference to set defaults for each heli. Now has camera views and one new heli. Good start. Keep the updates coming. OK for orientation practice and function. Just learning collective pitch heli. Need some practice. Please add zoom feature. (zoom now added) Wind control for more realistic control. More Heli choices.
Great App

Graphics and physics are as good as I have seen. I like this simulator better than RealFlight G5, which is installed on my laptop. The T-Rex 450 flight characteristics are much more realistic in this app. If you ever figure out a way to interface a Spektrum TX, then this would be the ultimate app for sure. I can't wait to see what updates you come out with next. Keep up the great work!
Best heli sim found so far
Brandzzz
Most realistic heli flight sim I have found so far. Intermediate feels a little too soft. Advanced way too touchy (but that may just be my skills) I can't believe that one of the reviews complained that this heli sim does not have airplanes. It does not have boats either. It is a HELI sim. Please keep updating and adding more models.
Good graphics but...
DWK38
Controls are not accurate. Tails are WAY to touchy and don't behave like the real models,
Not good at all.
Sig 30
Sim wise it's completely unrealistic and the tail is way too sensitive. This is not a sim to train you for actual flight. App wise it's just as bad. The game now freezes at the loading screen. This app was made by amateurs as far as coding. All around it's a waste of money.
Good sim ... But still needs a lil work

Got the free app. Tried it. Liked it. Clicked more n followed the link to the additional helis n locations. Except its a separate app n doesn't have my other helis I bought in the free version. False advertising n did not deliver what was promised. The sim is pretty good though. The tail is too sensitive. There needs to be more heli options like the pc program. ** The app has been updated! I actually used this app to get up the balls to fly my Blade mCP X inverted. It was easier flying the real heli but I was able to learn the mechanics and get some experience to save me from a bad crash, well worth the investment. It's not a perfect app, but I do believe it is the best rc heli sim in the App Store at any price. Try the free app. ALSO I think the rudder/yaw has been slowed and made more realistic. The app programmer is listening and making updates, keep it up!
Sweet RC heli sim for iPad

works fine, good for orientation training and sports flying. Now if somebody would please make me a bluetooth TX to hook up so I don't have to use the annoying on screen controls.
