My .02 about the cost....

So far, I have purchased Realflight, the Realflight upgrade, and G2. I know that they bit my checkbook initially. However, when I consider how many times I have crashed while learning a manuver, I am realistically THOUSANDS of dollars ahead. Ok - so this sounds like I really suck at flying. Not really. Keep in mind I have almost 2k in my H1 SU-31 - one crash of that pup and I could have bought 10 G3's to work with......
