Hmm, rotary or fixed wing? You could try an Air Hogs mini RC indoor helicopter from somewhere such as Target or Toys R Us. Last time I looked you could get ones as small as 4" x 1" x 2 1/4", ones that can shoot small missles, and even some that have remote controlled hoists. There's also a six direction one and one with a camera up front. Just depends on if you wanna spend $34 or $70. I plan on getting a fairly good one one of these days, I miss those things.

There's also indoor planes, but those aren't much fun unless you've got a big house.

I also play Microsoft Flight Simulator X on my PC, but it's beefed up enough to run it with most graphics options as high as they'll go. I haven't seen the new one that people have been talking about called "Flight", but I plan on taking a look into it tomorrow.

BTW, here in Amarillo there's an old hobby shop that had a kiosk of this realistic RC flight sim. If I go sometime this week I'll post an update with pics.

You want an RC flight sim.... The Real Flight RC sims are really good. I'm also currently getting my real pilots license and I use X-Plane for actual flight sim.

For rotary I like Phoenix R/C flight sim. For fixed wing Real flight seems the way to go.
The good thing about Phoenix is you dont have to pay for updates and new model releases. Real flight charges you for everything!

I simply told him that; "I don't know, I only work on American vehicles." He told me that was the best damn answer he ever heard.
