I am going to purchase the Alpha trainer. I was just looking for some feedback with the Alpha trainer and was wondering how the flight sim that comes with it is...is it realistic enough?. I decided to go this way because I had purchased a Parkzone J-3 cub which is a wonderful plane, but the minute there is any wind your flights for the day are pretty much grounded. The flying club I joined has instructor's and they all recommended getting into something like the Alpha trainer if I was serious about joining the hobby just because you are able to fly them if there is a bit of wind and have some decent power when needed as well. I have gone to 3 nights of lessons and have not been able to fly my cub once because there was to much of a wind. Everybody else there had there trainer's flying around all night...nuff said my mind was made up. I will still fly the cub of course on calm days, and there is nothing wrong with having a backup plane either. Input would be appreciated...
