RE: Another Newbie
Sims are a wonderful adjunct to flying the actual RC aircraft and they re indeed most helpful when flying simultainiously. Key word. When they are used without flying the actual aircraft for extended periods then big holes in ones airmanship will develop and this can cause problems later.
So yes indeed use one and expecially while you are also flying the real models but don,t make the mistake that some folks do by thinking that they will only start flying the the real models after reaching some imagined level on a sim.
