Heartbreak On The Way
Mustang for a beginner? Man I thought I was a bit on the NUTS side.
Put the STANG on a shelf out of the way for the next year or two and get yourself a nice, flat-bottom TRAINER. If you don't - all you'll have left is a pile of toothpicks, regrets and heartache.
Listen to the guys here that are trying to save you a lot of grief.
If I am not mistaken, there is a club or at least a VERY nice flying field out by the Cliffs (Volcano Cliffs) there in Albuquerque. Take a drive out there and talk to some of the pilots there. $10 says they will give you the same advice.
Go with the trainer and save the STANG.
Good Luck,
Crash Master
