MS Flight sim is nothing but a game I am talking about a real flight sim like Great planes G3 or Reflex XTR where you use a sim radio or your real radio on it to learn as for what MS taught you that will not help you here you might as well forget what it taught you did it teach you pitch curve and throttle curve??Did it teach you how to set up your radio and how to hover correctly with tail rotor control????I think you should can the attitude and listen to the people that have been down this road and remember that we are not just talking to hear our heads rattle we know of what we speak of.You think you know it all then go and try it why ask us!!!!!!As for your camera you want one to carry a camera then you had better have deep pockets because most of your lower end Electrics will not have the power to carry that kind of weight unless you are talking about one of those cheap little things that they sell on E-bay and if it is you would be better off watching your dogs with binoculars.
