I started flying with an avistar(non elite) and joined this forum at about the same time...hence my screen name lol, REAL original. Learned how to fly in high school and have been flying on and off since. Went about 5 yrs without touching the controls and it came back just like riding a bike. Was a bit nervous taking it up after my hiatus but all was good. I'm now 27 and still fly it although I'm interested in finding a good intermediate low wing to add to the hangar. It's a fun plane to leisurely fly around or work the sticks and fly some basic aerobatics.

Id say go with it! Get a trainer with a buddy box if you feel like it but I have a feeling you'll be soloing again in no time.
