The Hobbico RealFlight Drone is an RC flight simulator created for drone enthusiasts allowing them to hone their flight skills without the risk of damaging their drones in the process. It comes with an InterLink Elite transmitter controller and a disk for your computer or laptop that installs easily enough by following the on-screen instructions. Once set up and ready to go you will find lots of options to play with, you can choose from 14 different models, choose from 20 different environments and a variety of flying conditions as well as two different challenges to help you improve your flying skills. The scavenger hunt tests your photography skills by getting you to manoeuvre into the best position to take a photo and the Quadcopter trials get you to fly through an obstacle course to help you perfect your handling. Performing well will earn you points and can unlock new models to play with (including the glorious dead cat quadcopter). You can adjust the wind and turbulence to make the experience even more realistic and you can even fly drones that have cameras in first person view. A nice little touch that adds more realism is that you can damage the drones, this might not sound like a good thing but it teaches you to handle the drones carefully, it is much easier, not to mention cheaper, to fix your virtual drone than replace your real life model. It can be argued that the best way to learn to pilot any RC model is to buy one and take it out for a spin but there is something to be said for the simulator and the RealFlight Drone provides a realistic environment with lifelike flying simulations that can improve your skills and be fun at the same time, with new things to unlock. I can’t see people outgrowing this anytime soon but it is definitely one for the enthusiasts. RRP £104.99
