Default RE: which fms simulator model to emulate a 2channel plane?

I found a link:

[link=http://cgi.ethz.ch/~mmoeller/cgi-bin/ikonboard3/ikonboard.cgi?s=6ca7bdfe6622b007839b36082005f7fa;a ct=ST;f=9;t=207;hl=commander]Toytronics T-Hawk[/link]

that I think is close to my Commander 2. I use a gaming joystick that has a throttle control slide on the side. On the FMS simulator, go to controls/analog/joystick/mapping. I put the rudder on #1 and the throttle on #3 channels. All the rest I turned to zero.

I know it's not a v-tail but it does fly alot like my Commander 2. There is no landing gear so you have to hand launch. It prob responds a little quicker but what a great learning tool.

I just came from my first flight and I was surprised how well I did in real flight. I credit sim time for my sucessful first flights! What a rush!
