Default Looking for something cheap to learn...

Hello!

Well (obviously) I want to learn to fly a heli but need some help getting started! I really want to start with a simulator so that I
dont crash and waste a lot of money right off the bat! I found an ebay auction which includes a futaba controler and uses FMS as a simulator.

Auction here

Being a rather poor college student I really dont want to spend a lot of money if possible and thought this auction looked like a good deal but wanted another opinion. I have also considered just buying a controller to use with FMS first and then buying the heli once I learn to fly....also that way if the simulator sucks and I dont like it Im not out of too much money.

This one here..

The only problem I have in doing that is the difficulty in picking a good control now and then buying the heli/servos/receiver/crystal stuff later. (By the way I dont even know what most of that is or how it works....I just know its needed and has to work with the controller I buy!)

Well I think maybe I have rambled enough and have asked enough questions!

Thanks in advance for your time!
