All I can say is......... WOW!!!!!!! Thanks for everybody's response. I just tried the simulator. Crashing all the time. But I did manage to keep it in the air for a while. This is a awesome hobby and obviously takes talent in all fields of this hobby. In regards to $$$$$$$$ thanks to my business I have a little bit extra to spend for my interests. Was into collecting Colt firearms mostly snake guns. Pythons and Diamondbacks. But now I beleive with time this will be more rewarding. I will continue to practice with the simulator which works great. It seems this is a big asset to getting started in this hobby. Will keep everyone posted as to my progress in all aspects of my venture. Thanks again to all.
