Can one really properly learn how to fly a heli with Real Flight PC Sim? I'm interesting in entering the world of 3D helicopters and don't really know where to start, I don't want to be like any other person with more money than brains though, and just go out, buy a kit and crash it within 5 seconds. I have been eyeballing the E-Flight Blade 400 3D RTF, looks like a good value and nicely made.

So should I buy the RealFlight G4 first, or go for the Blade 400 and just take it slow, maybe find someone that can teach me to fly it.
