I have an uncle from Mizzou that wants to get into flying and he bought a trainer. He doesn't have anyone to teach him to fly. I was wondering if using any of those computer programs is very successful?

After reading your question about learning to fly without the aid of an instructor and seeing the usual RCU debate on "toy" vs "real" model airplane I'll stay out of that particular debate (I think most know my personal feelings concerning the bird series of planes
)
Learning to fly without an instructor boils down to this
1. Expense. Can you afford to replace all or parts of the model multiple times if neccessary in order to learn how to fly.
2. Frustration. Will you become frustrated and quit before learning to fly if your flight time per outing is measured in seconds and your first stop after leaving the field is to the hobby shop for another plane or more spare parts.
If the answer to question one is YES and the answer to question two is NO then I say go for it and ignore all advice here untill you have tried it for yourself then you can report your findings here and we can start another chapter in the Learning to fly without an instructor saga
