Default RE: Four-Star

First of all, congratulations for being smart enough to realize you don't want to fly the Mustang right away (probably 3rd or even 4th plane).

COULD you learn on the 4*? Yes. I learned on a VERY similar low-wing tail dragger, but I crashed it SIX TIMES before I became somewhat proficient. Like blwblw said, you need to talk with your instructor about if he/she would be willing to do so. If you don't plan to use an instructor, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LEARN on a 4*.

While the 4* is a fantastic plane (see below), you would be doing yourself a disservice by starting off with one. There are just too many things to learn as a newbie without adding ground looping and other fun stuff into the mix.

Welcome to the hobby and Good Luck!
