I have flown the giles in G2 and have owned the real one with Saito 180 in it and can tell you they don't fly exatly the same. My giles 1/4 giles flew great, much better than the G2 version. To me entering to a hover/TQR was easier with the real one. The sim version just didn't fly right to me. Good luck and like the other guy said start off a few mistakes high to find out.
