First you said "money is not a large issue" then you said "I'd just like to not have to spend the money on a starter, fuel, glow plug warmer, and all the other running expenses". Then you said "I will buy a high wing trainer, though I think it'll be electric." Followed by"I'll be getting a small nitro trainer" and "I'll buy a mid-wing" !!! Are you confused or is it me?? Last advice from me....slow down, think this out, don't go off half cocked in the wrong direction (or several directions at once), read again what I and several others experinced flyers have offered as advice. Jester s1 correctly stated that some club instructors have trainers they use for teaching. We have all said similer things in an attempt to help you avoid the pitfalls that a beginer can have. We can only advise and try to guide you, but at some point the old saying that "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink" applys. Best of luck, flying can be fun, but not if you crash needlessly and waste a bunch of money.
