If you want it get it, my first plane was a pts p-51. I then bought a seagull edge 540 v2, then a GP geebee r2, and then a Cox model ultimate biplane(all within a 1 1/2 years). This plane will pretty much teach you how to take off and land just about anything, and it handles the wind fine. When ever it is windy and I can not fly my other planes I pull out the p-51, and people love to see this plane out of all my others. Also one day this man brought out a high wing trainer and smashed it right into the ground....I had three plane at the field so I told him he could fly my p-51.....he flew it better than he did the high wing trainner
, that should tell you a lot. He was even flying it with everything of, and a 10x6 2 blade prop. Like I said before get what you want and be happy, because in the long run you are the one that is going to be flying it...and yeah that simulater is garbage. I have Realflight G3....this simulater will help keep all your planes working and in one peace.
