... BTW most planes are flown aileron/elevator/throttle and some people find the transistion from 3 channels to 4 almost like re-learning how to fly. A couple of people I know have used the bunny hop method, ie short hops to get used to the controls successfully...
...I haven't commented on the WingDragon since I'm not convinced that the wing is transferable as you are considering, please correct me if I'm wrong...
There was a thread on here somewhere saying you could switch the wings farily easily but I can't find it now [&o] Even if it was possible to switch the wings, are you saying I might be better just to stick with 4 channels as rudder/elevator/throttle knowledge might not be so useful? I hadn't heard that before.
Also, I've enquired of a couple of shops and both have said it has the trainer port even though it isn't mentioned - I'll just need to get an adapter to USB.
It seems like the general feeling is fairly split (as I expected) but after all the responses I'm leaning towards the BeginAir/Simulator route. I was before as well but... this has confirmed it a bit.
Can anyone direct me to a good cheap simulator?
(I know the sim wars are a bit like the Mac/Windows thing around here...)
