In this video, I go over my top 5 RC simulators available on Android and iOS. I go through the last three I'd shown that week, and add a few more, including planes, cars and helicopters.
It was quite a hard list to put together, because each app brings something different. Some are free flight, and others are challenges you have to complete to move on to the next stage.
Why practise on a simulator?
Crashing in a simulator costs nothing. It's a great way to build stick skills, especially for FPV or drones without altitude hold. Many PC simulators also work with a real transmitter plugged in by USB.
