I restarted my RC flying with the Nextar which came with a basic sim which I practiced on at least 3 times a week for about a hour,and after a minimal amount of help from the guys at the field I soloed the sim was a great help I have a Realflight 3.5 that I still use to keep up with my stick time when I can't get to the field for extended amounts of time its a great tool to just keep the muscle memory going I would recommend it to any beginner starting out in RC.
