SB1089: I suggets you do the IMC, as LowNSlow said: "it's useful and sharpens up your flying" also its quite a challenge. I have an IR on airplanes and helicopters and I must say that its very useful, it opens up a whole new world of flying. When you're flying IFR you have to deal with a lot of things. Consider the fact that non IR rated pilots who were put in IMC in a flt sim, the average time until they lost control of the aircraft was around 30-40 seconds if my memory isn't playing with me. I also agree with the others who told you to go fly the Yak, one of my friend has one and he tells me that its a great fun to fly, improves your skills also. If you're thinking about saving your money....... I'd suggest you spend it on something else than flying
