For those of you who (like me) have never flown a remote control aeroplane before, you are in luck.
It's a program called Flying-Model-Simulator (or FMS) and it's basically a simulator for flying model aeroplanes!
You can get the program at:

Better still, if you have a old remote, you can do something like this engadget article (link) and wire it up to the simulator! (I guess this would also work kinda well if you can hook a joystick / pressure sensitive controller up to the PC...)
It's nice to be able to do something like this without the need to worry that you might crash it (and loose a small fortune in the process...)!
(By the way, look through the forum for extra maps and aircrafts !
If you can't be asked, here's a link to start you off:
