If you are going to learn on G2, start with no wind, turn off in flight failures. Once you get to the point where you can always land the PT40 where it is supposed to be for about 2 weeks straight, start bumping up the wind until you can always land it with at least at a setting of 5 - 15 mph wind gusts, and set the gustiness to at least the medium setting. Then, back off on the wind speed, but vary the direction until you can compesate for crosswind at about a 45 degree angle across the runway. Bring the wind back up a few (up to 5 mph) every couple of days until you are at the 15 mph mark again. This will help you get used to the fact that it may be calm out when you go up, but 2 minutes later, the wind turns on you. Make sure that you can vary the angle of the wind also from one side of the runway to the other. When you get bored, you can download my field, "Bingo Field" from the Realflight web site. There are a large number of other flying sites modeled after the real sites that other people fly at. Have fun, but I would still reccomend seeking other experienced flyers to interface with as they will be able to provide you with the benefit of their experience, and may save you from making common and uncommon mistakes. They are a benefit to know.
