The Pro Flight Simulator Robinson R22 is a light weight helicopter and is one the most popular light helicopters and has been for the past 40 years or so. Designed by Frank Robinson The R22 was intended to be an affordable helicopter to purchase and operate and to be very efficient and reliable.The two seater multi purpose light weight first saw flight in 1975 but didn't start main stream production until 79.It was a huge success instantly. Although it is one the cheaper choppers out there its still gonna cost ya a couple hundred grand, Proflight simulator is the a flight simulator and the R22 and many other aircraft are available for you to play around with at a much lower price point.This is the best flight Sim btw.

The R-22 is a very versatile machine and has been available in all sorts of different configurations, from police units, marine units, to agricultural units.The most powerful of the fleet is the R22 beta 2 and the most common helicopter used for training is the Robinson R22 IFR.
Uses for this machine are numerous but some the more common uses are pilot training, police units, news crew unit's, cow herding and agricultural.
The power is received from a Lycoming flat four piston engine (0360A2B) and comes with horsepower ratings ranging from 124 hp up to the most powerful being the beta 2 at 160 hp detuned to 131hp. The main rotor is a two blade as well as the tail rotor.

This aircraft also has it own T bar control instead of the traditional cyclic stick.The controls are full manual and very sensitive, the helicopter is also very light which means you feel even the slightest bite of wind while flying. The Pro Flight Simulator R22 is no different from the real deal, you will notice how very real this simulation is once you start playing around with the helicopter in it.
