Notes: 
1. This is not a game. You are controlling flying RC models that reacts like real flying models. It takes some time to learn, and again, do not expect "arcade" style controls. 
2. The onscreen control sticks are just indicators! They are made small so they do not obscure the screen. 

*** You do not need to keep your fingers on them *** 

Sliding your finger anywhere on the right screen half affects the right control stick , the same for the left screen part - sliding finger there moves the left control stick. 

We suggest selecting beginner settings at first few days before you can comfortably progress further.
3. iPad 1 users should not purchase extra landscapes, due to lack of memory. Getting extra planes is OK.

### 5/5 — Gg

Awesome!

### 5/5 — I love it

*2025-05-11, version 3.52*

55 stars it’s so good

### 4/5 — Lots of fun! Good flight physics

*2025-04-12*

Great app. As a pilot in real life, the flight physics of most of the aircraft is good. Lots of fun learning the flight envelopes of the various aircraft. Some do have some glitches, like the P-51 has a bizarre crash damage model. Even a slow speed crash catapults it wildly into the air. A few others you can rip parts off the plane and they still fly like normal. But all part of the game! Fun! The Steady Wind settings don’t usually work. Seems to default to the same heading and strength most of the time.
