Consider the Falcon 3D and CPD4 CoPilot. I have two and I am a beginner since March 2007, Check with Mike at KAPLANES.COM in Floriday local to you. Nice guy who can help you. Other choices are fine too. All depends on ypur $$ situation...I think Mike though may have some deals around 200 dollars. Doesnt hurt to give him a call.
