i've bought a Futaba T6J already.. but still looking for Phoenix 4 Simulator... really hard to find stock..

I got myself a v911 type helicopter and all I do when I try to fly it, is crash it. So I got myself a bigger heli (V-max) but that crashed on the very first flight (into the neighbor's roof) and cannot fly properly, it just keeps rotating on the ground. I have changed the stabilizer bar, had to resolder the wire and change other parts on the v911.

I'm thinking, this r/c helicopter hobby is not for everybody. Even hovering indoors takes so much of an effort and only to crash it. I think I'm giving up on this as I'm not going anywhere. Or maybe I'll try the FPV type flying.

Any comments or suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

Does anyone know or been using/flying with the cockpit view option in Phoenix V4?

u need to use the 3D map in order to use the cockpit view

bro, did u even try on the simulator? u crash there cost u nothing man!  and u need to find experts from the flying field to trim your Rc b4 your own personal flight (solo fly) it is recommended to seek help in RC because RC is all about communicating and sharing knowledge 

here go to this forum,  it is all about RC and u may find the nearest flight zone that u can seek advice and some additional knowledge

I too, taught myself to fly. Got started in 2011. Practiced flying on simulator for months before flying an actual airplane. My first plane was an electric C182 foamy by ST Model. Got the RTF one with a China-made radio. On the first flight it dawned on me how different real world is to flying in the simulator. In the simulator there's very little depth perception unlike real world, so your eyes kinda get used to staring at the model all the time and you need to retrain yourself to rely on peripheral vision. Anyway my first flights were not so good, my landings were hard and I constantly had issues with the nosewheel of the plane (the plane was a scale plane, not built with beginners in mind, my mistake ). The final straw was when the motor threw a magnet and the C182 has never been flown since.

I never had problems with CG or with putting parts together (the foamies are simple enough to begin with), coming from an aeronautics background (I'm an aero-engineering final year student, did my homework on electric flight as well). Over the months I practiced a lot more in the sim and moved on to better and bigger planes (all foam so far) I can now fly simple aerobatics and do proper take offs and landings (as in scale-like take offs, not jumping off the ground and gentle touch-down-on-the-main-wheels landings). Got myself computer radios as well, the DX6i and Futaba 6J. I think I can now call myself a semi-beginner, still a lot to learn 'cause I've only been flying on-and-off, like every three months whenever I'm away from uni on breaks. Last month got my first balsa ARF kit, planning to put it together after graduating. Wish me luck.

You can teach yourself to fly, as long as you're prepared to at least learn how planes fly, to invest in a good simulator and spend endless hours practicing in said simulator and to always keep safety in mind. I fly alone all the time, never had anyone coaching me. Mind you, while the simulator is an indispensible tool, it's only good to train your orientation, it can never replace depth perception in 3-dimensional world, wind in your hair, turbulence, the heat, dust grass etc etc in the real world.

Bottom line is, it is very possible to teach yourself to fly/belajar terbang sendiri..

well...that's the challenge, is it not? hovering is actually quite hard for beginners until you get the hang of it, but it's the staple maneuver.

FPV actually requires more budget and if you can't even hover in tail-in without it, then i don't see how it can help.

I have extra unit of phoenix sim v4
Can upgrade online

check Rc Smart! they just instock Pheonix 4.0 

hello! how much does it cost to build one?
mind to share the spec and the source to get it?

should buy it from you.. already bought the one from RCSMART..
