Learning to fly an RC plane takes practice, and Electric RC Sim can help you learn much faster. If (when) you crash, just press the reset button and you're flying again. There's no need to fuss with building, repairing, or waiting for a calm day, saving you time and money.
Includes:
* two drones: simulates 4 motors, 3 axis gyro, PID controllers. Practice flips!
* all my favourite aircraft: two trainers, a slow flyer, an aerobatic plane and a flying wing
* aerobatic plane: learn to perform moves such as knife edging, snap rolls, ground loops
* P-51 for some scale flying fun
* ducted fan jet with massive control surfaces: crazy fast and crazy fun. Do flat spins like Maverick!
* control line plane: great for learning control basics
* "antigravity" trainer: have fun while learning the controls without having to worry about gravity
* four different flying fields, each with different wind conditions
* handy help guide for beginner pilots
Features:
* detailed nonlinear nonstationary flight dynamics model
* photorealistic graphics
* intelligent camera view and zoom helps improve sense of space and speed of your plane
* landscape and portrait view: portrait view helps with sense of altitude of your plane
* works great on iPhone; looks amazing on iPad
* realistic engine sounds: gotta love the sound of a screaming brushless!
Advanced controller (available as an optional In-App Purchase):
* set rates, expo and trim per model
* access to additional drone modes:
- hold: gentler for beginners
- expert: a blend of acro and auto levelling
- acro: sticks control turn rates - flies just like a 3d heli!

Customer reviews:
"I received a physical quad copter/drone as a gift, and having never been around one had issues flying it. I was hesitant to practice, fearing causing damage to the flyer or persons/animals. I found this app which allows simulated flying in a safe environment with the exact controls my particular model used. After a couple days with the app I was able to fly the real thing with confidence, and within a week was completing flips, spins, fast direction changes, and expert maneuvers. I can't recommend this program enough."
"What a great training tool... Superb stall and flight control simulation. Love the wind..."
"Most realistic rc sim at the moment!! ... novice to experienced will enjoy"
"Portrait view is a great idea, and the camera zoom works perfectly. UI is simple and to the point..."
"Once I heard the word 'flips'... Awesome"
Check out "Electric RC Sim Lite" if you'd prefer to try before you buy. It features the 3 Channel trainer plane and one field.
*** If you like this app, be sure to check out "RC Toybox" (iPad only). A fun game to play with your kids. ***

Great sim

Training to get skills before flying an expensive drone. works great. Thanks.
Really Nice RC Plane and Quadcopter Trainer!

Alongside trying PicaSim (another amazing RC sim on the AppStore), I have found Electric RC Sim to be a beautifully simple app with a clean interface, unique RC models with their own individual flight characteristics, nicely done panoramic environments, smooth gameplay, and many other great features. I especially like how the camera automatically zooms up on your RC plane as you fly it farther away. I have been interested in flying quadcopters for quite some time now, and decided to get this RC Sim to practice. Was very happy that I did! I highly recommend you invest the $1.99 in this app, and get in some virtual flighttime (where you will be using an indestructible quadcopter that can respawn indefinitely) before you spend your $400 - $4,000 on a fancy camera drone quadcopter (one crash may be its' last)! After receiving an actual quadcopter from a friend as a gift, I can confidently tell you that Electric RC Sim's quadcopter flies very much like the real thing! Thanks jetstripes.com for making a high quality RC flightsim, and offering it for a price within many peoples' reach! And thank you fellow Electric RC Sim users for supporting them! (Yipes! Yes! I know! I wrote something like that in my PicaSim review, do pardon my monotony. I cannot help myself when it comes to encouraging others to support companies that care about their customers and their products, not money.)

Finest RC Flying Sim

This is an excellent RC flight simulator! If you have the full paid version. :p I purchased this app and it was worth it! I agree it can use more variations on weather/wind. I would like to suggest a dawn/dusk setting with the models equipped with lights, this would give this simulator an almost infinite replayability option and verge of an epic RC simulator app. Great job! Looking forward to more options. -RAD
Could be so much better

The concept of the game is great the fact that there is not much that you get with the paid version is what's irritating. There should be more planes and maps in the paid version. Hoping for a update with more content.
Awesome sim!

I am new to RC flying, so this app helped me a ton. It helped me build some confidence before I flew my real RC planes. Highly recommended this app. It's great for beginners and totally worth the money. Hopefully they will add some more planes/ advanced settings (rates/flaps/gear).
