I used to fly gas powered o40 sticks about a dozen years ago did my share of crashing and eventually stopped. I just got bitten by the electric bug and decided to get involved again. I bought a jaybird with a focus III trans and all the necessary equipment.

Have any of you flown the JayBird? Any suggestions?

Also, I'm thinking of getting a flight simulator for practice before I take the plane out. Have any of you used one? I would appreciate your input.

Thanks, BobR37

I have a RealfightG3 it works great but you will have to upgreade your computer to at least a 1.8mhz processor and install at least a 5200fx video card I used it on a 1mhz processor and when the planes flew fast they would jerk I now have it installed on a 3mhz processer computer an it does not jerk anymore. I am 65yrs old an like flying sailplanes I do not build them from kits I have had them up in the clouds I put a 90inch wing on my LT40 with a LT.48K+B engine it would take of in about 3feet it also was up in the clouds. I think I am going to go with electric motors. Have a great eveing Chuck
