RE: Should i get the flight simulator?
You beat me to it <G>; I would have recommended the G3 sim over your other choices. I still have my RF Deluxe (1st generation RF w. helis) and use it a fair bit. This is one of the best investments a start-up pilot can make.
Small electrics are good, but they are as different froe the 30 size helis as the simulator is/will be, but the sim is reconfigurable to give you all kinds of experiences (small helis, large helis, etc.) .
Best of luck!
