Thanks to my neighbor Steve for sharing this awesome little Helicopter game! This is one of those fantastic little time wasters that is both incredibly simple, and also extremely fun.

Not wanting to spend a fortune on flight simulation games either, I began searching for free flight simulator games that would be both entertaining and educational. Here now is my thoroughly tested list of the top free flight simulator games.

Of course, if you’re going to do that, you’ll need one of these special new RC units with the dual rotors and built in fuzzy logic chip. This sucker will buy you plenty of hours of fun chasing pets or people throughout your house and property.
