I must say (and bear with me with my Muscular 1 hour of flight time) i have to kinda aggree with you there Superpilot.. i have always enjoyed the navagation/ punching in numbers and moving dials/ setting course etc and watching it folow your instructions when playing Flight sim at home.. although i flew a Piper PA-28 for the first time (in real life
) a few weeks ago and really enjoyed the actual feeling of handling the aircraft
im currently looking for cheaper places to get hours and training.. looking at the pilot college here in Waterford Ireland but thats another thread.. so i dont want to go off topic in my very first post
cheers
