Im not familar with the sim.My guess would be it teaches you to fly with rudder,something alot of guys who learned on 4 channels have never mastered,myself included.I have began making myself fly with the rudder more(dad always tried to make me), landing in crosswind is much easier with the rudder doing its job.As for the Kadet,that is what I learned on back in 1991.I took the dihedral out,man what a fun plane.It was pretty responsive w/ a magnum .46, but would fly backwards with a headwind.I went from it to a Hobbico Extra.
