trebor Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Go easy with the sim though as it can lead you into bad habits, no matter what settings of plane, weather difficulty it's nothing like your own model. I found that flying my own model I was a bit heavy handed with the controls due to this and it took me quite a while to smooth things out.

Denis Watkins Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Just a note about flying in wind Matt, do not assume calm days come easily. Official figures for the UK, which are mean values over the whole UK, showed that we had 5 days last year officially "calm" Averages, do mean that someone got 20 days of calm, but the rest of us got none ! So consider 2 aircraft, in your trainer stable or use your common sense and get an aircraft of substance initially around 5lbs weight, to fly in the usual breeze we get, rather than a 1lb foamie blown round like a paper bag.
