...............
Get a computer simulator that allows you to connect your transmitter via a com port. You should be able to fly on the simulator competently before you attempt to fly for real otherwise not only will you trash the copter, you could end up seriously hurting someone.

i have a copy of aerofly but for some unknown reason it has a big delay on my transmitter when i apply the throttle
had it checked over and set up correctly by a guy who has been flying for 16yrs
cant wait to get the sim sorted out and see how many times i crash it

I got a raptor 30 about 6 months ago but not flown it yet.I had it set up by a young lad who is unbelievable at aerobatics and he gave me a go on his flight sim which I kept crashin.He advised me not to fly alone so I havent.I bought a flt sim called Reflex XTR which is one of the best apparently.Only problem is the computer graphics have screwed up and I cant use it. 
Gotta get my ass in gear soon coz the raptor is sat in the spare room doing nothing but gather dust. Need to find a computer geek to sort the graphics out.I need one I can trust though coz Ive been to "one full movie "a few times.

Just bought me another same as this ...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VENOM-OUTBACK-...QQcmdZViewItem
Noted on this one the radio gear comes with a p/c like mouse socket? in the back.
Does that mean I can use any flight sim n lead with it, or do I need to watch what type I buy?

Used those for a bit then bought a 2stk petrol Marder aswell.
Not that I'm greedy.
Fookin things are costing me a packet in spares tho
5ltr petrol can gives a good idea of scale of those marders
Shoulda kept me cossie lol, prob work out cheaper at this rate.
