Nice, I think I remember this title as well

However I do remember having my own RC cars but never did have a chopper or plane to fly, looks like a nice controller as these are what are used even today for RC Planes/Helo's

I remember seeing this sort of thing long ago on the old Apple II series also. For R/C hobbyists, it's not a bad idea at all since it lets them learn what to do and what not to do with the controls without risking crashing a rather expensive toy. Once they master flying R/C on the computer, they're less likely to smash their plane or helicopter within the first 10 minutes after taking off.

Of course I'd rather fly the real thing, give me a C-130 and I'll land that puppy anywhere

Yes I do believe that if you slapped on some very large pantoon's on the bottom it would indeed float and you could land it on water
