I'm as new to r/c aeros as is possible and ive been using the free download FMS for 2 days, its a pain using the keyboard but i can only get a few models off the ground it seems most wont lift off using the keyboard as control, i have a skysport6 and reading this thread i'm now thinking of getting a lead if ones available rather than buy one of the all ijn one packages, you know so i can actually get the feel of the tx i'll be using to start with. I also have to say using this sim i have now completed a takeoff short flight then landed..YAAAAA!!!!   Where i landed is anyones guess but at least i done it so big thanks to the guy who recomended the sim to me. cheers mate, Steve. 

Hi again, thanks for the pointer to the flight sim ive been slowly getting the hang of a couple of the models,others i cant get off the ground though but ive only been using it for a few hours and i'm itching to get a usb transmitter so i can get the finger reflexes trained.  Thanks again,  Steve.

Could this be the one for a newb like me to finally do a succesfull flight,?? I hope so!!

Hi, i already built a couple of ripmax trainer40's a couple of years back and both lasted about 10 seconds before nosediving i a corkscrew style into terrafirma, so hopefully this time i'll ask questions and not be so desperate to get out there till i'm ready. Ive purchased an AMD Giles202 kit,40 size, ive got 2 engines an Irvine 53 and an OS 40-LA, I have a skysport6 transmitter but need to get the rest, thats where hopefully i'll get some good advise on what to buy, i need 5 servos and a rx so if anyone can suggest what would be the right type for this model i'd really appreciate it, I know ive probably not picked the ideal beginers model but i crashed 2 of them so maybe i'll find this type a bit easier?? who knows...lol Well thats about it from me right now but i will be making great use of the site hopefully and hopefully i'll get some great advise from the pro's i mean even you guys where newbies once..lol cheers.
