Default RealFlight 4.5 - Instructor Substitute?

I am wondering about the opinions, held by seasoned RC Pilots, about the suitability of the GP RealFlight G4.5 simulator as a training aid for budding pilots. Does it truely match the flight dynamics of real life RC flying? Are the decision making processes and hand eye coordination developed using the simulator directly translatable to reality? Are the flight characteristics of the various models true to life? (To the degree that informed decisions can be made, based on handling, about purchases).

Any and all input would be greatly appreciated.
