I would think that the heavy training gear is a bad idea. Keep it light, excess weight will only strain the electronics, battery , etc.
The idea behind training gear when starting out is to just get the heli light on the skids and start skitching it aroun to learn control. Keep the tail pointed at you!! If you get out of shape just chop the throttle, walk out, adjust the heli with the tail pointed at you and start over. Move it around, forward, back and side to side. Returning to your original starting point.
Once you feel you got it under control try taking it up in the air about a 6 inches or foot. Keep the tail pointed at you!!!
If your actually doing well on the sim all this should be quite easy. It's all about stick time...
Have Fun!!!
