Very well written tutorial!
I would add that the beginner resist the urge to purchase something flashy and exotic to learn with. A beginner's success is highly dependent on starting with a simple, not complex airplane. Multi-engine, canard, floatplane, fast, aerobatic, retract landing gear (etc) aircraft require that you have ALREADY learned basic flight skills. Even full-scale airshow pilots with hot P-51 Mustangs started out in humble Cessnas and Pipers!
