Paul Rogerson Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hi Guys, I am looking to get into rc planes and after buying and wrecking a micro trojan, I am thinking that i should listened to advice!! With that in mind I have a Spektrum DX5e, what do i need to hook this upto to a sim (FMS?) with the view to buying one of the better looking sims later (real flight?) Any help would be appreciated. I have ordered a Dynam Hawksky and have promised myself not to unbox it until I have spent time on a sim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kozmyk Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 The freebie sim FMS uses the USB type dummy transmitter like this:Planemaster or similar on eBay. To use your DX5 you'll need something t like the ever popular Phoenix RC sim or Realflight which plug into the trainer socket on your Tx.

Paul Rogerson Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Thanks Kozmyk, I think I may just get the Phoenix RC sim (looks the best) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Rogerson Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 I took the plunge and bought Pheonix (which I think is fantastic) although I find it very difficult to focus on learning as i seem to just mess around with no real objectives, perhaps interactive lessons would be a good inclusion in future updates. I have also now bought a WOT 4 foam e and I am looking forward to taking her up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename-John Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 For an interactive lesson why not join a club and learn properly ? lol your plane will last longer too with someone to stand by you and help with set up, trimming, and any difficult situations you get yourself into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
