Oh just to add. If you want to train on a trainer more power to you.

I put most accidents in the "second" plane category on the instructor who isnt there rather than the pilot. A lot of instructors are great at teaching a person to fly a trainer. A lot (not all) leave it at that. You need that same person or another qualified instructor when you move to the next plane like a 4*60 for the first flight or 3. Same thing if you move from say a 4* to something hot like an extra or a CAP because they're totally different on the controls.

The person at our field who trains 90% of our pilots can only fly a trainer, I've never seen him do a loop or a roll. If handed the controls of a 4* I'm confident it would end in disaster. He just teaches people enough to take off, do a pattern, and land. Which to me is really doing a dis-service to students. He teaches them just enough to get them in trouble.
