| I use the interface with my 'real' transmitter. Back when I was starting, the simulator taught me a lot about programming the radio, and I think that was useful. I doubt you're in any danger of "wearing out" or damaging the transmitter in any way, I've been using mine for years both at home and at the field. Airline baggage handlers are the real threat. 
Snce you already have a controller, it's hard for me to say whether or not it would be worth the money to upgrade. IMO it's good to be familiar with the box you'll have in your hands at the field, it makes the simulation that much more complete. Is it worth the price? That probably depends on your wallet. |
