Thanks guys very much for all the input

To be honest as far as flight sumulation goes, I always thought that the radio gear for the plane doubles as the controller for the simulator? I guess this isn't the case?
Also, the simulator for me isn't for fun or anything but just to get used to the controls etc better and hopefully learn how to fly quicker

I wont be buying any time soon though, as it's summer here (40+ deg C) so it's way too hot to go out flying

At this stage though thanks to everyone here I am leaning more towards the Towers trainer, OS46 motor and undecided on the radio gear yet

Thanks again for all the help
