what radio are you going to use? as for simulators... Realflight or Phoenix... spend enough time on there until you can do proper landings on the landing strip... you have to be able to get the plane lined up for the runway and land it there... as this is the hardest part for beginners... not the flying but landing...
First I'd like to thank you for your input.
The radio that I will be flying with (eventually) is the Spektrum DX5e . This is the radio that came with the Alpha 40 trainer plane.
