I might be acquiring a somewhat older gas-engine helicopter (probably around 5 and 15 years old.) I have zero experience, and I don't expect to get out and fly it without considerable training. I read a post recommending a newbie use a simulator program. What simulators are available, and what prices should I expect?

My only real radio-control experience is with 1:10 scale cars, and that was more than 25 years ago. Well, I did build a ARF plane that I destroyed first time out because the wind was way too strong and I was too eager to wait.

Here's the situation: I'm helping a friend liquidate her late-husband's collection. I might be keeping one of the helicopters, if it looks like I can actually use it.

I don't even know how to identify or classify these things. I'd appreciate it if someone can look at my photos and give me a little guidance.
