Thanks for the opinions guys. I think i am going to join a club I found a few miles away from me and have a guy there maiden it for me. I also just purchased Realflight G5 which has my exact Great Planes 540t in it, should help me get the feel of how the plane flies and the power etc. I do know what you mean about having to land it with speed, on the sim I have to really bring it in hot or it likes to stall out.
