Default realflight sim or wait for instructor

Hi all, I've posted a few times regarding the assembly of my first plane, a trainer, and received allot of help.

I've hooked up with a local club, talked to an instructor, and am going to get lessons.

I have a copy of Realflight, and started playing with it last night. I was thinking thinking this would give me a head start, but I'm wondering if I'm more likely to develop bad habits.

For example, I'm not sure how much to use the rudder in turns. I'm sure I could develop a reflex with enough hours of simulator time, that is not correct.

Well, should I hold off on the simulator until I have my first round with the instructor?

My wife and the kids are visiting her mother all day, I've got a day to myself, and was thinking while waiting on glue joints to dry I could use realflight....

I would ask the instructor, but I only have his work number, and I hate to see this day go to waste...

Thanks!
