A helicopter simulator is much safer than the real deal

helicopter-simulator_5784.jpgHave you always wanted to fly a helicopter but are too dangerously incompetent to make your dream a reality? I feel you, I really do. Well, instead of actually putting you in control of a set of deadly whirring blades, might I suggest this full-motion helicopter and airplane simulator?

At $100,000 it's expensive to be sure, but it's cheaper than a real helicopter or airplane, and also much less dangerous, so it's not too bad a deal. If you're feeling really ambitious, you can get two and link them together for virtual dogfights, which is something that you really couldn't pull off even if you did manage to score some real choppers or planes. So go ahead, settle for the fake substitute. It's better this way.

We would like to buy 4 or 5 simulators for a training camp for kids. Could you please give us some more information about the products and the prices&shipping details.

A basic simple simulator will be fine with us.

Thanks from now on.
