Gameplay

R/C Stunt Copter is a simulation game involving a radio-controlled helicopter.[2]

Development

R/C Stunt Copter was originally announced under the title "Fly by Wire".[3][4] David Perry decided to create the game because flying a radio-controlled helicopter is something most males would like to do but could not afford to.[3]

Mathematician Robert Suh modeled the radio-controlled helicopter and its flight mechanics,[3] using a book of equations for flight models as a reference.[4] The game was designed specifically for the PlayStation's Dual Analog Controller.[5]

Reception

Chris Charla reviewed the PlayStation version of the game for Next Generation, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "A unique game with unique control, this game is a winner."[2]
