At first I was not thrilled at the included controller and considered picking up the USB adapter cable that would allow me to use my own transmitter. The version I received included a USB controller. A few weeks following our interview with Jason, a package from Hobby-Lobby showed up on my door step with Aerofly Professional Deluxe and the USA Edition Add-On5.Īerofly Pro Deluxe can be purchased with or without a controller. I was fairly excited about the ability to fly virtually at Hodges without en during the 10 hour drive from Raleigh. Jason mentioned Hodges Hobbies Field and that the USA edition Add-On included Hodges field as one of the scenery options. I have tried most of the well known sims, but never had a chance to fly AFPD. Jason of Hobby-Lobby was gracious enough to join us for an episode of ATTF earlier this year and while we were interviewing him he mentioned Aerofly Professional Deluxe Flight Simulator ( AFPD for short). Then I moved to fixed wing, and after a couple of weeks on the flight sim, I was ready for the real thing and did exceptionally well my first time out. While I never mastered flight with a helicopter, I could do some basic sport flying and hovering. I went out and picked one up and it did help me greatly. I did a lot of reading and discovered that a flight sim was available to help an aspiring pilot by saving him some time repairing and some cash from replacing. I really didn’t need a sim for this, but eventually wanted to fly something a bit more realistic. I starte d flying RC with a Picco Z knockoff and then a Blade CX2. A flight simulator is a wonderful tool that can either help a beginner learn to fly, or a seasoned pilot learn a few new tricks.
