Excellent Sim, although the planes appear really small.  You might want to zoom
in to get a more realistic sight frame.  It's hard to see where you are in the
scene, since you don't have periphial vision unless you do a tap dance on the
view controls.  Many planes to choose from, including your own designs.  If you
can fly a plane on the sim, you can probably fly it in real life.

Appears to be a stripped version of Realflight classic.  See
article <20011229221527.06244.00002503@mb-mq.aol.com> for more info.

Thanks for the input but the link you posted is an email address that
bounced back when I tried to go there!

It's not an email address, it's an article number.  As in:

I'm presuming that you have a second-hand copy..  I had that before I
got RealFlight.  I found it helpful.  I used the Cessna for a trainer.

There is very little for you to edit in R/C Pilot.  In my opinion, if
you are a non-pilot trying to learn, it's pretty good (for the price).  
If you are any kind of pilot, it will be moderately amusing (there are
only four aircraft available).

It's best use would be to help new pilots get 'off the ground' so to
speak, without spending several hundred dollars.  It's not very
sophisticated...

Just my humble opinion,

Bob
