RE: Practice Plane??
agexpert-
IMHO, it's hard to tell how much flying a slow electric will actually help, since you're already using a sim. You say that one of your problems is a tendency to overcontrol. In my very limited experience, it seems that slow park flyers take more in the way of control input for a response, so it might encourage overcontrolling your glow plane. Just a thought.
I bought a Slow Stick after Christmas after spending all last summer learning to fly glow. The Slow Stick is really easy to fly as long as there is no wind. I really enjoy it, but primarily because I can just go to the park down the block and fly and I can get my 7 year old son flying. About the only thing it's actually doing for my flying is helping me practice my orientation. The other advantage is it gave me an excuse to get a real nice Triton charger which I also use for my Rx and Tx batteries.
