RE: Would a Sr. Falcon ARF be over my head as a first plane to learn on??
With a competent instructor and the .46 it'll be an excellent trainer. I learned on a fully symmetrical airfoiled trainer (TF Headmaster) and the neat thing is once you have soloed and built up some time, you can stick a .60 or .90 in that Sr Falcon and rock and roll. You'll be able to progress to your "second plane" without actually buying another one.
I say go for it. Thousands of people sucessfully learned on the Falcon series.
