Default What model as a first jet?

Hey guys,

I'm curious about something; I wasoriginally looking at something like the Tornado for a first jet, andthe CARF MIG-15 as something I could kind of "graduate" into as I become more experienced. Being one who likes to be financially "efficient", I was reading the statements about the stability of the CARF MIG-15 and how they state "The MiG-15 is even suitable to be your very first jet. Because it flies so smooth and calm..." That led me to thinking that Icould just cut to the chase and get the MIG as a first jet, however I wanted to run that by you guys first.

I tend to pick up things VERY quickly, but I don't want to get a model that I'm going to struggle to learn on. I tend to sell things that I outgrow (and that has been a painful process in the past, because I outgrow things quickly), but if the prudent thing is to go for a pure trainer first and then sell it later (because financially I can't just have all kinds of models laying around) before I fly the MIG, I have no problem doing that if that's what you guys think I should do.

Thanks.
