Hi everybody, I am new in this hobby but I have gained some experience flying 2 channel electric planes (Megatech Avion and a Wind Spirit). I have also worked hard with the Real Flght G4 and in that simulator I can takeoff and land easily any aircraft (even the L-39). I also understand the physics of flying which is important. I put some turbulence and some wind in the simulator and I can still land the trainers like the Nexstar, the LP-40, a big stick, a Cessna, a Piper Cub, etc. I feel I am good with the Real Flight G4. I want to know how much can this simulator help me at the time I want to make the transition to real nitro models. I just bought a Hangar 9 Alpha 40 and I haven´t flown it yet, but I want to fly it now with my instructor. Do you think I can fly the Alpha 40 knowing that I can do pretty well with my Real Flight G4? Can anyone tell me what is the similarity of this simulator vs the real flying. How can the simulator help me? Do you think I can be ready in a weekend of real flying?

Thanks for any help you guys can give me.
