Also have you trainer go through safety training with you. some things I have seen new pilots do are very dangerous. these things are not toys and can do serious damage to your fingers, auto, child, and bystanders.
I've seen people start their plane's engine on a table just to have it fall off when they turn to put their started down, taxi out to the runway with the glo stick still on the motor, fly over the pits and over the parking lot. and on and on and on............ nothing worse than an avoidable accident the first day out.
I'm the safety officer for our club so I'm kinda funny about the safety stuff but without it people can get hurt.
