Hi again

Thanks to everyone who responded to my last post, all of it has been good advice.

My birthday's coming up, and I am wondering if I should buy a simulator (was looking at RealFlight G2-lite, don't think I'll need the full version), or if I should just get a good RTF plane (I'm looking at the Hanger 9 Alpha Trainer).

The Alpha would have a different brand of controller, but I've also been told that it "hurts" a lot more when you crack up a plane that you've put many hours into.

If I went with the sim, I could "practice" on my PT40 before it's even built (although I have an older Futuaba radio, might have to check compatibility before I buy a sim). Guess I'm kind of concerned about screwing up the construction, and especially getting my OS 40 to run right (I've heard that engine break-in and setup are difficult sometimes).

Any advice on Sim vs. Second RTF Trainer would be appreciated

Thanks
