Jac_GT, CONGRATULATIONS !!! GREAT CHOICE !!! The H-9 Alpha Trainer is a great trainer and very nice looking too. Hangar-9 is one of the best companies out there and with an awesome customer support.
Geistware said the most important thing for your success, find a club, and a good instructor, and you will be flying solo soon.
Good luck and don`t hesitate to ask any question no matter how simple it may sound. JT
