Dear all
I am newbie to the wonderfull world of RC. I have already went through some beginners threads, and got some idea.
for my start up, I thought of playing in simulator. I have installed FMS simulator in my PC and playing with keyboard.
Could you please clarify my doubts on FMS
1) can I use real RC TX / RX with my FMS simulator
2) I heard Futaba, but its too costly for me, can you suggest some other brand which is cheap and best
Regards
Dileep
If you never want to join flying real R/C planes and wanna use FMS just as Game, you could buy USB Game pad and configure with FMS.
If you are serious to join flying someday, its good to invest on a medium cost Tx in the begining itself and practice with them. To begin cheap, you can buy Simulator Console which have physical charecteristic of a Real Transmitter (sticks) sans the Radio/Computer:

If you are really ardent for a Cheap Radio which would double as Simulator console,
try

Or spend some more money and get a Radio which would be good for long time:

As said above its best to start with a controller modelled as a TX.. I used it... I purchased mine from Sai uncle.... (rcforallin)
The E-SKY simulator has been sold....
