Default RE: PC-9 choice?

It is an excellent plane but I wouldn't recommend it for you just yet. They tend to come in quite slick so for a first Aileron plane with a glow motor, it might end in early unecessary tears for you.

I would suggest get a High Wing Trainer first and master that with the help of your local club / Instructor. Something like an Alpha, Arrow, Tower trainer - - -the list is huge. Once you have mastered that, the Seagull PC9 is an excellent next step. They fly very well.

G3.5 is very good for training your thumbs to work but it is not the same as the the "Real Deal". there are visual cues and other unexpected effets that are not the same as the simulator. (Yes - I do use G3.5 Myself and purchase the upgrade packs as soon as I can get them).
