Simulators are also good for this.
I use Real flight. the standard plane definitions don't work for this, but you can down load some planes that react a little like the real thing. Might save a plane or two while you are learning.
Some say to use a Gyro on rudder when you are starting out. i tried it, maybe it helped a little, but not much, i don't recomend them, unless of course you want to buy my old one!
