Best to invest time in a Simulator first rather than spending the same time in repairs.

When you pull the elevator stick towards you, the plane's tail will drop, nose will get up resulting in the plane going upwards.
The actual control surface here will move 'Up' which will eventually be forced by the wind downwards; making the tail portion go down and nose portion up.

While take off, elevator should be little more than 50% throttle about 50-75%.
These numbers do however change from one plane to another based on their Flight characteristics and electronics, weight, etc

let me make it clear....if elevator moves up...our plane will go up because air will hit elevator and make the nose go down

When elevator (control surface) moves up then the plane will go up because air will hit elevator and make the TAIL go down

When Tail goes down then the nose automatically go up (Due to forward movement of the plane)

Exactly my point.
Just because you didn't found discussions related to Sim Practise in your search doesn't mean it's not important.

Simulators infact are a lot more important before putting hands on a Physical Model.

learn from my mistakes? my propellor broke and battery burnt... whole model is on some 3-4 pieces..
what more do you want me to learn?

i don't have any mentor who can teach me. all i know is its thermodynamical stability and science behind it.. i know nothing about practically flying it.

Pardon me. I am a noob. You meant aerodynamic stability when you said thermodynamic, right?

Roby veterans here are advising constantly to study the fundamentals thoroughly...they wish that no new comer should leave the hobby in frustration.

There is lots of gyan ,discussion here on the forum be it basics, aerodynamics, modelling , electronics,engines ....list is endless ...there is no substitute to self study...am doing it since hooked to this hobby..and not yet build it so far...but have gained courage to build coro...not sure of electronics yet..mean the configuration to use

Again, Exactly my point.

When i started up, i converted my Computer Desk into a Dining Table.
Apart from the little time that i could spare to watch Videos over YouTube, i even started eating on the desk while watching more and more videos over YouTube again.
This gave me additional 1-2 hours out from the already hectic schedule everyday to grab some RC Gyan Grin

"What more do you want me to learn?"
Please don't get us wrong. There are still about 1000 more things that can go wrong mid flight/On the ground which leads to frustration, people leaving the hobby altogether and selling off remaining parts over RcIndia's classified section.

On a positive note, We all need to be able to know the reason of a crash once it happens. One of the reasons why Helis/Multirotors and even planes are not usually sold as 'Ready to Fly' since while building them, you get to know them from inside out and any flaw is too hard to get away un-noticed.

Coming to the simulators, Now i see the real culprit and the cause of your initial hesitation - 'Mac' >Cheesy
Fastest way would be to contact RCBazaar to check if it's Mac Compatible. Don't have any experience with RCB6i.
Most of us are i think are kind of lucky on the OS field.

I too sometimes get compatibility issues on my Windows 8.1 workstation. But then i just use an old Windows 7 Laptop just for that specific task.

Another way would be to get a new Mac Compatible simulator altogether. The investment in it believe me would be far less than the time and money you would have to invest otherwise (Repairing planes).

More and more knowledge through self learnings is the key to enjoy this wonderful hobby to its fullest. Thumbs Up

Roby, madaquif is right. There are 2 flying fields in Gurgaon, 2 in Noida, and over 3 in Delhi. All these fields have people who would be more than willing to teach you how to fly. My suggestion is that if you cannot use a simulator, then start flying with some of these groups.

Look in the locations and clubs section, you will find the details of the exact person to contact for a particular field. Otherwise, you could send me a pm.

Computers, GUI, Applications, Simulators aren't as old as this Hobby and yet people advice to practice on Simulator.

My best bet would be to go to a field and observe how people are flying, visualize what the stick movement got to do with plane's movement.

Iwincar is actually correct. no matter how long you practice in Sim, your first flight will not be as good and you will never learn flying unless you actually fly it.
Lot of reading could help to understand how a plane flies instead of practicing in a Sim that work on ideal conditions.
if you are still afraid of wasting money, buy some chuck gliders and practice them, it teaches a lot than Sim.

Finally, Breaking a few props occasionally are quite common even for experts. choose a design that will not hit prop first, a pusher type plane could save few props, choose a build material like Coroplast that is forgiving.

damaging a battery is a result of poor construction not your flying skill.
Happy flying...
