thanks for the update piper_chuck...

I for one can do without the gory pic's...too many new flyer's get discouraged and leave the hobby when they plow in the first one... especially if it's the first flight.

If the original poster is still reading this... a sim will help BUT you'll still likely stuff your spit on the first flight. Get a TRAINER... this is one step you really can't get around if you want to do it right... get an instructor... would you have hopped in your first full scale without one?? once you have the right tool's you'll get a good base that will allow you to fly your spit later on.


Bottom line is few and that's DAMN FEW can go from sim to flight with a TRAINER and not crash... throw a spit in the mix and your back to almost no chance.
