Maxx ,

it HAS been done - in 1985 I trained a 16year old young man to fly a Byron F-16 with NO aircraft flight experince at all -and he was a really good student pilot - the the Byron F-16 was a really good trainer jet - you can slow fly it at 40mph and throttled back that Rossi .81 with a 32 oz.Sprite soda bottle fuel tank would run for 30min. or more . But you HAVE to be willing to do what your instructor tells you.
Yes,it CAN be done.
