An RC flight sim is a new heli pilot's best investment. I spent about 12 hrs on one before I flew my first heli (TRex450) for the first time. Saves you a lot of money and wrench time.

Those flight sims look really cool best way to learn a new system IMO

If I was smart I would learn to fly with one, but I like the hard way.

Yep, training gear too. I have Phoenix, works great with my controller. My second attempt at hovering the real deal resulted in about $100 in repairs. Built some training gear and I haven't broke anything in 20 or so battery packs. I spend alot of time in the simulator too. It's getting easier, just taking me a long time to get it down.

I hear the bigger helicopters are eaiser to fly, but when they crash, it gets real expensive, real fast.
