HARDWARE - Copy Cat's new long-shaft controls. Ideal for helicopter pilots as well as fixed-wing flyers, they feature gorgeous engineering, integrated rudder pedals, and aren’t as pricey as you’d expect. Start clearing out your spare room!

FEATURES - Our feature on radio navigation takes the mystery out of using NDBs and the ADF, as well as showing you just how to keep on track once you’ve got your bearings. We don our overalls and finally get to grips with repainting an airliner. All the files you’ll need for the repaint (except the graphics program!) are on the CD, so you won’t need Internet access or have to waste time searching for files.

TUTORIAL - A break this issue from IFR training. This time round we use the new VFR Photographic scenery for a complete real-world map-based VFR tutorial. Fly from Welshpool to Cranfield and learn all the tricks of the VFR pilot.
