Geez, I have been flying for almost 30 years and I got it to just tink with in rainy days, winter days and when I can't go to the field. Now I see G-3 is coming out so I have to buy another one. They are more than just a toy, they help you learn, and keep skill once you have it. Great tool. Money well spent. I would reccomend it to anyone, and I never figured I would ever say that.
