Hi All,
I'm trying to get started with the hobby, don't quite yet have the nerve to take a plane out just yet. After reading numerous suggestions here and elsewhere I've invested in a sim (aerofly rc 7 on the mac), which I've gotten set up with a transmitter.
My problem is... I don't really know what I'm doing in the sim either! Take-offs are ok, I can stay in the air (although not in and particularly panned out pattern). Landing happens maybe 1 of 10 times, never really lined up with the runway or where I planned it to be.
All that said, and this may be a strange question, but does anyone have any suggested drills or resources for learning to fly in a sim? I feel like I might be missing the "step two" of this process, that just messing around as I am probably isn't teaching me much (or at least isn't as efficient as it could be).
