Introduction

Welcome to the RealFlight 7 R/C
Flight Simulator
R
ealFlight 7 is without question, the most advanced R/C aircraft simulation
available. RealFlight 7 is so technologically advanced and so realistic, you'll
find it hard to believe that it's only a simulation. The culmination of over
fifteen years of development and design, RealFlight 7 offers advancements
that will serve to fine-tune the flying skills of even the most seasoned R/C veteran. If
you're an entry-level R/C-er, RealFlight 7 is the ideal way to learn to fly, practice
maneuvers, feel the effects of design modifications, or just have an incredible amount
of fun.
RealFlight 7 includes over 100 models that look and fly like the real thing, plus a
multitude of flying sites (each with their own unique "feel" and distinctive
characteristics). In addition, RealFlight 7 offers its users the most powerful, flexible
aircraft and flying site editors ever unveiled to the modeling community; allowing
modelers to experiment with a virtually unlimited number of parameters. RealFlight 7
enables you to change the look and feel of a flying site with nothing more than a few
keystrokes, a click of the mouse and a little imagination. The integrated AccuModel™
aircraft editor makes modifying aircraft just as easy.
RealFlight 7 also offers a wide array of tools to help you understand how to use the
program and how to improve your R/C piloting skills. This extensive manual explains
every feature and option; as well as how to use them. We offer a number of training
aids and assistance including (but not limited to): our Virtual Flight Instruction, Heli
Hover Trainer, Airplane Hover Trainer, Takeoff and Landing Trainer, Heli
Autorotation Trainer and Heli Orientation Trainer. These helpful training aids provide
on-the-fly learning opportunities, and we encourage you to take full advantage of them.
No other R/C simulator goes further to enrich your R/C experience.
