Well, I was quite excited when I finally soloed for the first time last week. I have every intention of wringing every hour of experience I can out of my trainer over the next few months. However, even as I work on the fine controls and practice my landings, I can see already that the trainer, while fun, will only take me so far. Now, I am trying to do a bit of research into what type of plane would make a good second after a trainer. I figure it will take me a few months to get the money (probably xmas), but figure I should start looking now. Does anyone have any recommendations? I want to get a plane to start into aerobatics, but not sure where to start.
