Cheers, but I'm fairly sure that I did agree to getting that trainer. Yes I am still going to get the OS engine, but just because it's a good engine, doesn't mean I have to go full-throttle everywhere. I understand that I need to learn to fly first, and I am DEFINITELY going to do it SLOWLY!!! AS, like you said, I don't particularly want to make it into a money pit! I am going to get a trainer with a .46 OS engine. Then when I think I am reasonable at flying, I shall pull out the PC9 and learn with that, but until then, I will be looking at getting a trainer. Like I've said I think I have picked up on the Sim pretty quick, and I know it's different to real flying but I feel that I will pick up on the flying relatively quickly as well, with the aid of an instructor. As it is a trainer, it is designed to create a huge amount of lift, therefore reducing the amount of speed required to counteract the weight forces, because of this I will not need to use the engine to its fullest, and still be able to fly slowly with the instructor. But it also means that when I get comfortable with the aircraft, I will be able to step it up, without changing the aircraft. So I believe that this is a really good thing to do. Trainer capable of going slow, engine capable of going faster, as my skill progresses. Right?

Cheers,
