### 4/5 — 可以

*2026-07-02*

我想要多做一些飞机

### 4/5 — i

*2026-03-01*

只有一个机

### 4/5 — Great game but love from the dev

*2023-08-02*

The planes feel and fly very smoothly and are easy to control. I’ve tried newer mobile flight sims/ RC sims, but none feel nearly as fun and satisfying to fly. I also appreciate the lack of ads! 

However, the game does show its age…
I would love to see optimizations for full screen iPhones (iPhone X and newer). Currently, the game doesn’t fully fit the screen. 
Also, the environment textures are very low quality. I’d love to see an improvement on them. 

It would be awesome to also see some new features such as wind, damage simulation, time of day, and first-person mode. 

Overall the game is really fun to play for a few minutes here and there. The physics system is perfect, and the lack of ads makes me come back to play it often. 
I’m sure that the game probably won’t see any updates in the future, and that the dev will probably never read this. But I can hope.

### 4/5 — Good

*2023-01-20*

Easy to play and easy controls good for beginners

### 3/5 — Well it pretty good but I wish it was a 4 channel plane

*2022-01-02*

..

### 5/5 — Simply Perfect R/C Airplanes

*2021-04-26*

The best free App for recreation of the R/C flying experience.  Although the graphics and planes might lack the “pizzazz” of similar fight apps, nothing out there compares to the very simple and realistic feel of R/C flying that this App.  I fly this App to practice my real world R/C skills and the plane’s respond in a very similar manor.  The trees and other landscape features add to realistic flight park feel and other limitations.  The only thing missing is wind, but it’s unnecessary.  Excellent application for beginners and pros.

### 5/5 — Epic

*2021-03-09*

Wow very good

### 5/5 — Best way to pass some time.

*2021-01-13*

The app hardly takes up any storage, it’s very simple and can be run on obsolete IOS’s. The physics and controls are pretty close to real life. Honestly isn’t too much to complain about being the free version. Highly recommend for someone looking for a simple way to pass some time.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2020-11-19*

I absolutely love the 3 channel plane.  Like others have said years ago, great practice when you can’t get outside and fly!

Nice app!

### 3/5 — Fun but needs an upgrade

*2020-11-11*

It really helps you know how to control planes especially if your use to flying 4 channel helicopters

### 5/5 — Cam Wells

*2020-07-13*

Very fun! Even my kids were getting great on this. It’s a great Segway into RC Flying!

### 5/5 — Great Trainer Software

*2020-05-25*

Used this simulator for two weeks while away from flying. I’m a beginner and could only use assisted flying beforehand. Got in the air after the two weeks and completed my first barrel rolls, flops, and controlled landings with no assist. Great app! Highly recommend.

### 4/5 — Cool

*2020-05-13*

Sa manque d’une vue comme une gopro attacher à l’avion si non très bon jeux. 😊

### 5/5 — Realistic

*2020-04-09*

This sim is very smooth and yet the physics feel pretty darn good for a simple mobile app! Great for a park fly session with a realistic setting.

### 5/5 — Practice without fear

*2020-03-03*

I am new to RC and I wanted to find a way to get better at flying before using the RC planes and learn the hard and expensive way. This is giving me the practice I need before taking the RC transmitter in hand. 
We will see how transferable the skills are on the real deal.

### 4/5 — 高翼面荷重

*2020-02-23*

めちゃ速いしスロットル落としたら結構高度落ちてこれ翼面荷重高すぎませんかねえ…

Horrible

### 1/5 — Ma come si fa!

Il controllo alettoni è disabilitato

### 1/5 — Rebel flyer

*2013-12-18*

Mode 1 is set up as mode 4 with rudder on right stick.
No airalons working on left

### 2/5 — This isn't right

*2015-11-29, version 1.2*

Rudder is supposed to be on the left with the throttle. Not usable 😩 (unless you never plan to be in the hobby)

### 2/5 — Horrible

*2015-11-29, version 1.2*

Rudder control only available in 4ch? What?

### 2/5 — No updates for a year

*2015-03-08, version 1.1*

It's a very good simulator for iPhone, but it can be the best one if the devs release some updates with new planes or features.

### 5/5 — Great game, nostalgic.

*2025-06-24*

So this game is Electric RC Sim Lite. And I played this a long time ago. Then I delete it.  I remember it was like a yellow Cessna plane. Then today I searched up plane on App Store, I found a different game with RC Airplanes too. So I searched rc airplane on App Store and found this. The yellow Cessna 120 made me instantly remember this. I immediately downloaded it. The only part I don’t really like is they don’t have explosion, not even the wings come apart. But still this brings back nostalgia. This doesn’t even has ads.

### 5/5 — 初心者向き

*2025-04-15*

rc飛行機をやった事がない人は まずこのアプリから始めると良いですよ。

### 5/5 — 可以的

*2025-04-13*

很真实

### 5/5 — So cool and simple game

*2023-11-12*

This game is absolutely awesome. It’s kinda funny because it’s soooo simple and everything but it’s so easy and fun to use. I do wish y’all would update it because when I click on it it pulls up but then just blinks back to my Home Screen, but when I click on it again it works. Great game tho, thanks for providing this

YEEEEENNNeeeeeeewwwweeewWWWWWNNNNEEEEH

### 5/5 — The Best FREE R/C Model Aircraft Simulator in August 2023

*2023-08-27*

Just like my original nitro powered model aircraft that I flew over 40 years ago! This free RC model airplane flight simulator has already saved me ‘physically’ hundred of dollars in crash repair bills and fifty plus hours in repair time. You can focus on learning or relearning the precision skill of flying without the agony of your mistakes. 

There is an option to magnify the aircraft on the field when learning to fly. It helps you to see if the aircraft is coming, going or which way it is turning. (Tip: When it is flying towards you then you’ll want to point your control stick towards the lower wing to level the approaching airplane.) After getting used to the magnified airplane, I started to turn off the magnifier to get a better sense and practice learning to fly the airplane when it gets very far away.

My next step is learning to fly it closer to the ground where reaction time and over steering is increasingly critical and mistakes are less forgiving. Fortunately, this is a simulator and the ‘reset’ button allows you to ‘instantly’ live to fly again!

I am getting back into RC model aircrafts after getting inspired from a new friend living in Edmonton, Alberta Canada. This RC model aircraft simulator might appear ‘dated’ but doesn’t really need any updating. I can focus on really learning to fly without being interrupted by ads.

I plan to pay for the ‘paid’ version soon as it offers a few more aircrafts to choose from. In the meanwhile I will ‘master’ this RC model airplane simulator whenever I have a few minutes through out the day or night, rain or shine!

Good Luck, enjoy the renewed RC model airplane sport by mastering the basics first. Download this app now and feel like a little kid again!

### 5/5 — I’m nine and this really got me started to how good I am at flying RC planes
