Someone approached me a year ago or so at a jet meet and said, "I want to buy your BobCat" (should have snatched that deal right then), but you know, the guy had never touched a transmitter before, much less a turbine model! I looked at him and said, "pal, save yourself a lot of grief and expense. Go buy a turn key .40 size trainer for cheap and see if for one, you're really going to dig this hobby. For two, use the trainer to bring you up to speed on all the little things that bite: battery management, fuel management, fasteners, support equipment, insurance........and so much more".
Had he said, "I'd like to buy it and hang it up until I'm ready", hmmmmmmm. I might have said, "grab your checkbook Buddy, I'll start pulling the wings...."
BTW, the BobCat was MY first jet! Can you say "trial by fire". With that airplane, you learn fast or loose it! In hinze sight, I think there might have been several slower, more forgiving airframes for which to "learn jets" on, but few sport jets are prettier than the BobCat, for sure.
