What simulator have you got I use Pheonix which works with my TX. I have been trying the planes recently on the simulator I managed to master take off a loop then landing from the opposite end in about 5 hours. The only thing that worries me with planes is that if you cant turn it round it will just bugger off into the distance

with a helicopter you can just fly it backwards.
A student housemate of mine had MS FlightSim. But he had a short attention span and fiddled with the settings all the time, and I never saw him take off, fly and land all in the same aircraft and weather conditions.
He did prove that you can't land Concorde on Papa Westray, and ended up with it buried nose deep in the grass like an arrow.
Got a text from NT earlier, saying "I'm coming over early", and here he is!
We've had pizza for an easy dinner.

With salad. I've got to work tomorrow, and then we're going to have a nice relaxing weekend. We're planning a sort of fusion dinner for Chinese New Year, involving haggis and hoisin sauce, probably wrapped in tortillas....
