ORIGINAL: Radical Departure

Thats just the local store making a profit, shouldnt be any difference beyond possibly a version number. One thing to watch for I forgot about. Phoenix(?) did not come with a transmitter, they assume you have your own as I recall. (Not had to upgrade in a few years so not sure whats in the box with current version). Realflight I recall does come with a transmitter for the simulator... so to backtrack, you may want to check out realflight until you get up to speed... its what I started with.. but for real.. whichever will go a long way to improving skills, such as landing and manuvering when the plane is flying toward you. Hope this help!
I asked about the transmitter with the Phoenix program and he said, yes, it comes with it. That might be the extra cost!?!

I'm leaning towards an Alpha 40 for a trainer.....
