The sims are not a good tool to learn to fly RC... but merely to get the hang of looking at a plane from the ground, and flying it. They will help with harsh movements of the transmitter knobs, but that's about it. Get an experienced flyer, with a buddy-box... the cheapest trainer you can find, and have fun with learning to fly. There's an old adage among pilots: "First get good, then go for speed". Nothing could be truer, at ANYTHING you do in life. It has been said, in previous posts, and I don't think you'll find an avid RCer to tell you otherwise....TRAIN in real life. Do nothing halfway and expect to pay for what you get.

Keep your head up on a swivel.
