I'll definitely agree that if you're having fun and aren't bothering anybody you're doing it right. The one caveat I have to that is that I hope to set the right expectations for the newcomer to the hobby. The start of this thread sounded like if a guy buys that series of planes and flies them on his own he'll become a competent pilot that can handle just about anything. If he sticks with light foamies that may be true, but it won't prepare him for glow and gas aerobats and warbirds and usually won't result in building the techniques to do spot landings or anything resembling perfect maneuvers due to the lack of experienced instruction. But if fun is the goal and one doesn't plan to go beyond park flyer foamies, the OP's path isn't half bad.
