Thanks guys and yes I'm very interested in 3D never flown any before and I just bought the FSone simulator and been flying the Funtana 90 alot. I can finally after a week of playing with it hover,torque roll,harrier,flat spin ect. The thing I'm working on now is the rolling harrier and for the life of me I can only get 3 or 4 rolls out of it before something goes bad and I cant keep it in a strait line . I know it's all in the timing just never flying a palne with a rudder before is what in having troubles with.

dude, i know better than anyone, harrier rolling is HARD to LEARN!~! whew! I'm not gonna lie, it took me about 4 or 5 months on the realflight G3 to learn how to keep a rolling harrier going. what a reward though, its now my favorite thing to do!

Hey Jeremy,

It's great to have you here!!

You're in the right place, and buying a sim is the best way to learn fast. It will teach you the stick movements, even though the planes fly easier than the real thing.

Welcome to the Giants!!
