I have been flying helis for about a year now and I am pretty good (fixed pitch only), but now I want to get into planes. I plan on starting with a 3 channel such as Cox Sky Cruiser and I have been practicing on my simulator for a month now and just can't seem to get it perfect. My question is do I really need to be proficient on the simulator first before I try live flight? When I started with the helis I jumped right in live with a cheap 3 channel and had very little problems learning, but I have a heck of a time flying helis on the simulator nowso I'm thinking that may be I should forget the simulator and just get out and fly. Any opinions?
