No worries. We all have an opinon and we all mean well. I taught myself to fly and was just giving insight on how I done it. The Sim is a great tool , if used right.
How you proceed is totally up to you. And tho we all might not agree , we do wish you the best of luck on what ever you decide.
Happy landings

Wow, I really didn't mean to cause and argument. I was just stating that a sim can really help you learn the controls. If you can learn the controls before you fly at the field it really helps. I was also stating that trainers aren't always the way to go. Or at least they weren't for me.
