only one question and one point,


1 the question, how many times did you crash the sim. understand that the sim resets balsa doesnt.


2 the point, a few hours on a sim is about the same as a couple of weeks with an instructor. think about it, 10 min flight times 20 minutes off while you check everything out, let your instructor fly his plane or help someone else, then another 10 min in the air.versus hrs nonstop on the comp. you really can pack weeks in to five hours at home.


i do understand the point that you learned some valuable things on the comp. no argument, just understand that the PC doesnt give instruction. should the CG be 1/4 inch forward/aft is the motor too lean or rich would it run better on synthetic or castor. i am hapy for you that you learned to fly, the more people in my hobby the more secure it is just dont be fooled in to thinking that a computer simulater "taught" you anything all it did was give stick time. but if thats all that is available to you then i wish you all the best.
