Your original question, Is G-2 worth it?

If your computer can "RUN" G-2 and you can afford it definetely go for it.

Not only have I seen a 5 year old learn how to fly and land using realflight, Cody could take off and fly at 5, but he had trouble setting up on the runway for landings, I could set it up for him and then give him the sticks and he'd land it, but it was the down, and cross leg that he'd lose it on. After working on realflight last winter, he was able to bring it in on his own. Now at 8, he's working on The BASIC Imac maneauvers on realflight and then taking that knowledge to the field. Yes there is a difference, but the inputs are the same. I recommend it to all of the new guys that want to learn. And no, I'm not affiliated with the companies at all. Realflight or ANY sim, will teach you left from right going and coming, it will help make things, (CONTROL INPUTS) automatic. And In my opinion if you can land a plane on the phony, hard to find,runways in realflight you can set a real R/C up for landing. The one thing I don't like about realflight is it does not give proper persective of the runway. And it does not give perspective of the ground in comparison to the sky. BUT, The guys who have taken the suggestion to try and really work with realflight have done far better, faster, with the real thing. I practice pattern and IMAC maneuvers on real flight before doing it with a real R/C plane. It helps in recovering from a "DUMBTHUMB". I downloaded the TORQUE rolling 232, I haven't been able to do a SUSTAINED roll yet, but When I got the 540 in the air and tried it, it felt totally the same way.

And one other thing, IT SURE WON"T HURT ANYTHING TO GIVE IT A TRY!!
