RealFlight 6.5

If you've always dreamed of flying but didn't know where to start, then get yourself the RealFlight 6.5 Flight Simulator. RealFlight gives you the ability to practice over and over (and over and over) your landings and control reflexes to changes in your flying conditions such as wind gusts and sunlight without having the frustration and expense of crashing your plane time after time. And you can practice specific parts of a flight or trick flying and look like a pro when you actually take your plane out.

RealFlight offers many airplane and helicopter choices, which allows you to choose a plane or heli that has the flying style and specs of the actual model airplane or helicopter you want to practice flying. And to give you the most accurate flight experience and practice time, RealFlight offersTrueView, which allows you to see the colors, shadows, and sunlight accurately so your virual experience is as close to your real flight experience as can be. It also offers the ability to control wind direction and speed, to add occasional wind gusts, and to have more realistic thermals for better soaring.

RealFlight 6.5 also offers FPV, which is very popular right now, and gives the pilot a unique view from his plane's cockpit. And now it offers the ability to play online multiplayer combat games. Pit your experience against your fellow aviators!

See its very long list of exciting features here and start flying!

Technical specs:

Compatible with Windows* XP, Windows* Vista™, Windows* 7 or Windows* 8
Local administrator access required for Windows Vista and Windows 7

Not compatible with Windows NT, Mac platforms or
Windows emulators such as Virtual PC on a Mac.

Exciting New Products for Christmas!

Venom has just released their new Safari Creeper, which is perfect for those who want a creeper but want it ready to run. Unlike Venom's original Creeper Competition Rock Crawler, which is a kit and has to be put together screw by screw, the Safari Creeper is fully assembled and only requires a battery and charger for operation. This is great for kids or adults who just don't have the time for assembly.
Check out the Safari Creeper at RC Hobby Explosion!


RC Hobby Explosion has added a new line of airplanes just in time for Christmas! We have eight Parkflyers RC planes ranging from Cessnas to Piper Cubs to Mustangs to 1/5scale with something sure to interest everyone. Check out these great new planes at our Parkflyers RC page.




And, of course, to add to Traxxas' family of 1/16 VXL vehicles, we have the 1/16 scale Summit VXL Brushless in stock! This Summit uses the same batteries and y-harnesses as the other 1/16 vehicles making it easy to share accessories.
