I want to get off to a good start in the hobby. Do you all think it is possible to learn to fly well enough on a Simulator (AFP) and make my first plane a P51D? ...or do you really recommend buying a trainer? I really enjoy scale planes and think this is where I want to be ultimately...
No No way. don't try. all you will do is break your shiney new P-51.
(one person in 1000 MIGHT get away with it... so don't post about having succeeded, you are special {and brain dead}.)
You WANT to learn to race cars do you start at the Indy 500 or do you start with a go-cart on a dirt track?
