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.....
I wasn't joking, I see guys come out with planes way over there heads quite often and love watching the outcome. Then again some people that really want to learn read things like Mikes getting started then read the other sticky with Mike and Ken telling of the different types and makes of trainers. These people even go as far as finding an instructor with a buddy box then learn to fly basic then get into the next plane and learn a little stunt flying. Some of them sometimes even get a third plane that is something like a 40 or 60 size stunt plane like an Extra or Cap and discover the differences between planes. I have seen that happen too. What's the fun in that though?? Go get the big one and soar with the eagles!!! I will support you!!
