If you are young, have good vision, good coordination, good concentration, good attention span, the FourStar would be a good way to go. It's only slightly more challenging than a high-wing trainer, but nothing you can't get a grip on with decent instruction. When you're flying solo, you can expand your repertoire on this plane somewhat beyond what you might do with a flat-bottomed high-wing trainer. (I am speaking from an old duffer's point of view.)
