Yeah I figured the space walker wasn't exactly made for 3D but I did a lot of mods in the sim and got it going pretty good actually. Dropped the weight from about 6 pounds to only 2 pounds, took the diaphram (forgot how to spell it) out of the wing and messed with the CG a little bit. It still wont hold a hover but overall its been doing pretty good. I also maxed out the throws on rudder, elevator, and the alerons . I could actually do a lot of the things the first video vids in this thread show. I got it to flatspin a few times but only by luck.

I did just buy a real 3D plane yesterday that I'm just about finished setting up. I got the Eflite Mini Ultra Stick and it looks pretty good. Had a friend of mine help me set it up and we had to fix a slight twist on the horizontal tail but its just about ready to go. I went overkill with the motor and put the Eflite 480, 910kv motor on it and a 11x7 prop. I know someone who put this setup on his edge 540 and got over 40in/oz of thrust off of it so this should pull me out of trouble pretty quick ... or get me into it. I've been flying micro helis (MX400) so the touchy controls shouldn't bother me but I'm still going to be cautious and keep the rates a little low on its first flight. I'll be using the same 3 cell thunder-power lipo for the ulta stick that I have in my heli as well.

As for the simulator this comp should handle any of them no problem. Pentium (R) 2.80GHz and 1GB of ram. I forgot what video card I have in it but it handles Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 and Half-Life 2 pretty easy which is very hard on video cards. I'm gunna look into that aero fly pro deluxe that you mentioned the videos look great. I'm not sure if I want to drop $200 for a G3 though I will get a discount for working at a hobby shop. I know it will come in handy but not sure if its $200 worth. I got my G2 cheap off of a friend who didn't need it anymore.
