I honestly can understand Mike's side of the fence,

Innovation is great and it makes the world a better place but I believe that you have to build your experience to get what you want in the long run. I think the actual journey is fun as well and it will make you a better person because of it. I would put that Turbine plane away, make it your goal to fly it in the future and build the experience you need in order to fly that awesome plane!!!!!
