i'll explain you the situation:
my brother started flying when he was 17, now he's 28.
i remember a situation just like that!! he told me somthing that was completely wrong:
i bought a new computer, and i didnt know what to buy, AMD\INTEL.
i read many reviews and most of them told me to buy AMD64,
but i brother told me not to, because it makes many problems.
i took "the risk" and bought FX-55,
it works great! and i saw that AMD64 is the best CPU choice of 2004. maybe 2005,2006,2007,2008 god knows

anyway, same here i undrstand.

about the batteries, i think its better to finish a battery while playing and learning how to fly, practicing also so i won't
destroy my chopper\airplain, cuz when i will it'll cost me much more than a battery

my brother doesn't want me to buy a simulator cuz he thinks its a waste of money,

thank you very much, everyone. especialy charlie!
