Hey everyone!

My father in-law asked me last Sunday if I would like to fly planes. Of course, being an rc enthusiast already (off road cars) I decided to take him up on it! To say the least, I am soooo hooked on flying that it's about all I think about! Right now, I'm flying HIS Avistar and want to get my own. He swears by this particular trainer (He's been flying for about 20 years and has taught 5 or six other people how to fly with this plane) and says I should get this one as my 1st plane. I've only flown it twice @ higher altitudes and am quite comfortable with it. I hope to practice touch and goes for my next lesson if he thinks I'm ready. Is there another plane that any of you would recommend? I know planes are like the cars, everybody has there own preference, but is there another plane out there that is better for a 1st plane? My inclanation is to go with his advice due to his experience and the fact that he has taught so many people to fly with it. Any advice would be appreciated.
