One more thing, have a beater plane. That one plane which you don't even care for and are just waiting for it to crash can provide the most fun and best lessons. This was my Escapade, after a defect in production, GP sent me a new one free. I was able to fix the first one and flew the heck out of it. I was doing low inverted passes less than 15 feet off the ground. I would fly this plane in winds I wouldn't even imagine with one of my better planes. It had to have been my favorite planes.
