Default Is this a smart thing to do?

Flyiing on a sim is a great warm up for the real thing. Huber is right when he says a flying wing is not generally a good place to test your as yet unrefined flying skills. First I'd suggest you go out to your local field and see if anyone there is flying a Zagi or its equivalent. You haven't really had your handsful until you try one. That little bird and its brothers really use up a lot of sky at a very rapid pace. One of our best pilot/instructors got one for a tryout. He had his hands full and we only saw the bird twice before it was retired. The manufacturer will promise you the moon. Good for primary flight training ! Sure and an 80" trainer will fly on a .15 engine, or I can sell you some forest land in AZ that has a few burned trees but is a perfect homesite.
