You will be amazed as to how you feel about that little glow powered trainer in about two years when you are looking for a relaxing day at the field without challenges. Just a comfortable day of flying.

We have all sorts of aircraft (no jets, though.. grass field) in our club, yet the most common are folks flying their basic aircraft. Some have taken their trainers and converted them to tow planes to to gliders up to altitude.. so that little glow trainer can and will provide you with some enjoyment even after you have learned to fly it.

My point about clubs and instructors was well explained by other posters, so I won't elaborate any further except to say that I am an instructor and I would not get into a situation with an aircraft that I did not know or understand. Since I don't go gas, not yet any way, I don't know how to set one up nor know the flying characteristics of one. I would know pretty quickly after putting one up and flying it a short time, but it would have to be set up properly by someone present at the field that is familiar with the setup and flying characteristics of a gas powered plane.
