Welcome to the site Drisaldi.

A simulator is a wonderful adjunct to learning and it is best used concurently with flying the real thing and not attempting to reach some level in your mind before ever getting involved.

Now like many of the fellows are hinting at, get involved with your local club and find a mentor as soon as you can and even more importantly let your mentor guide you in choices of equipment you use. Doing this is possibly the most important step that will contribute to your success.

Agine allow your mentor to help you make your decision in the airplane choices but here is one that I happen to recommend to most of the fellows that choose to go electric and I have have had experiance with this ship and a number of students. Its one of the good ones out there in a sea very bad choices.
