Sims rock

I used one years ago, flew for ages, mastered it... My pico stick was still a bit of a rush the first time i took it up

hehe, I'm very mechanically minded, i was taking everything apart from 6years, but the trick was i could put it back together as well, i think that has given me my systematical approach i have today.

My dad used to fly various types of RC plane, and alot of his knowledge helped me out, and i'd been messing about with rc cars for sometime before i got into planes, so the electronics were no problem.

I worked my way up from the pico stick, via some bigger electric's until i got to the point of taking up a 40size trainer, so much more power!, speed... well, you name it there was more of it. All flown with no real flight tuition, just my dad who hadn't by that time flown for nearly 20 years telling me kind of things to expect. I've been chasing the rush i got from working up each time ever since, good times



Anyways, the sim is great, but i wouldn't under any circumstances go from the sim directly to a big glo machine, it would be much like getting a mad ferrari as a first car, there would be a good chance you would pile into the nearest tree and maybe take someone out at the same time [:-] Just not worth the risk
