RE: Alpha 40 Trainer
Not much to say that hasnt already been said above except GET A SIMULATOR and an instructor. Some of the mods on here recomend not using a sim without at least talking to an instructor first. The hardest thing for new people to learn is memorizing stick movements in association with plane orientation. Being able to move the sticks the correct way without needing to think about it is not an easy thing to pick up and it takes lots of stick time to develop this muscle memory. A simulator makes it possible to get stick time in everyday instead of once or twice a week and really helps to develop muscle memory much faster then you could with limited IRL flight time. I tried to learn to fly with the help of instructors but no sim several years ago and could never get it down. This time I put several months of sim time in first and just went out and flew with no problems.
