Hi All,
We all know that flight sims can cost over $200. Well, there's a solution. Theres a internet downloadable FREE flight sim called fms. For those who dont know about it, it can be controlled by a keyboard or joystick and while its not identical to Rc flight, It can be used for beginners (and more expirienced flyers on a bad day) just to get a taste of rc flight. Below is a link And there are many versions to download but I recomment the BETA 7 version.

You can also get a cord to hook up your transmitter and use this free flight sim like those much pricier ones (and the connector only costs about $35 if you buy one already made and about $15 if you have the know-how to make one yourself).
I can't remember where I've found it, but just search for a RC Transmitter to PC cable (or cord) and you'll find one.
