With my PT-40 still under construction (past 50% complete, though [8D]. Getting my 46AX today!!!!!), im practicing regularly in my two favorite sims, FMS and RC Plane Master 2. Right now in using an analog gamepad, but ive ordered an USB interface so i can get to use my real Hitec Laser4 radio for them. I love the Sims, with Rc Plane master being my absolute favorite. Was doing loops, inverted, hammerhead stalls++ within the hour (must be all those damn computergames i play ). Practicing thouch-and-gos over and over, but its abit hard to line up the plane to the runway because of the sim (you can see the runway before its too late to line up. A big issue, and I think only Realflight G2 have worked out this limited-view problem).

I know that the sim probably isnt gonna make me solo on first flight, but its a real confidence builder and getting the reflexes down is a must. Might save your plane from alot of stupid mistakes!.
