I flew an arising start 40 ( I don't see anybody talking here about this plane so I guess it's not popular) but didn't know how to land for the first two flights, so someone in the field landed for me. Used flight sim for a month (FMS that is free) and yes, from the third flight and forward I did all alone and landing hot, but withou any damage so far, even with many dead stick because my bad engine(brand new evolution 46).
I can say that the worst part was coordinating the controls and landing.
