Aww yoose guys is no fun.   Only point I was trying to make is if you have an itch to learn to fly, a good way to get started cheaply is with a micro heli. It is something that can be done indoors, and give you the ability to learn coordination of the sticks and fine motor skills.  It's a lot of fun too if you have cats.  It also teaches you patience, something needed when flying. Most people want to get out there and start looping and rolling and doing tricks only to fail miserably and crash. 

Sim time is good to, but as I have found, judging distance on a sim is more difficult than in real life.

Some people aren't near a flying club either, or have access to someone who will train them. This is a way they can get started before they take a several hundred $ plane a good distance from home, and have some confidence that it will fly.

 I know a Heli doesnt fly like a plane, but you push the stick left and it will go left, a plane will do the same thing, it will teach you how much stick to push and that is probably the hardest thing to learn in flying. Too much stick too fast equals one cluster of a flight.
