Alberto,
Don't give up the idea, there are some relatvely cheapways to fly. Many of the modern microlights are just as fast, versatile and comfortable as conventional aircraft. I've already bought a 1/5 share in an older aircraft which cost around 4000 Euros, and expect to spend around 4500 Euros a year to fly around 50 hours. Obviously it can cost a lot more than that, and there is the initial learning to fly costs (Around 10000 Euros) but these can be reduced considerably if you go the microlight route.
BTW - I started off flight simmimg and still do if you are a member of VATSIM let me know.

Just in case you're worried.
Part of the training requires that you be able to set the aircraft up sothat it will ly "hands free" for a period of time. This is to allow for situations whereyou may need to use both hands for navigation work.
In this photo however - the advantageofadigital is that you can point and click with the view panel visible. Makes it all possible.
Great day.
Neil

Wow Neil, "above the planet, on a wing and a prayer, my grubby halo - a vapor trail in the empty air....".
But next time keep the flash off!.-)
