RE: Kit or RTF????
I'm 100% with solman on the sim. We have 2hobby stores - one has phoenix, the other has real flight.
The sim you linked at xheli is FMS - you can download the sim free from here - [link]https://www.ushobbysupply.com/downloads.php[/link] You are actually paying 20 bucks for the controller. I have it (the controller) and it's ok for 20 bucks - 4 channel only. The ones that come with phoenix and realflight are much better.
