I understand that, just wanted to point out some pitfalls and my personal favorite. What you are looking at are considered disposable toys (at least in our club). But they should be able to do the job. You see them show up every now and then with an experienced pilot that will use them when they travel. There are many stories of people here that learned by themselves on just such a plane and with practice on a simulator. Personally, I think an instructor (since I am one ) is the better way to go. A totally biased opinion. You learn more than just stick control. I taught myself how to fly some 22 years ago, it was pretty expensive and took a long time. But we didnt have planes like we do now and simulators were not as good as they are now. Simulators have come a long way. I used to not care for them but have since changed my mind. Many years back a guy came to me and we were able to solo him in 5 flights. I was amazed, until he finally grinned and admitted he had 40 hours of simulator time. That is when I changed my mind about them, they obviously work. But it takes a real plane to learn how to land. Thats all he needed. My average student takes about 30 to 40 flights to solo and I teach him a program. He needs to be able to put the plane where I tell him, not let the plane fly him. After they solo, I teach how to handle emergency situations. Its kinda fun to take them up high, kill the engine, roll inverted and put it in a spin, then give it back to them. 100% of the time they panic. But after 3 or 4 times they get used to it and develop an automatic response and can right the plane and dead stick with no problems. Either way, stick with it. Practice is what it takes. This is one of those hobbies that can be as cheap as you want, or as expensive as you want.
