Re: "I just thought trying to find a low wing trainer would be a good idea as my main plane will be the spit, and charecteristics would be similar" < the low wing would be similiar in that it will take off fast, climb fast, and turn on a dime, and thats the problem for a first plane! Everything would happen so fast that the plane would probably take off, start a fast climb out start to bank and turn into the ground, all before you could catch your breath and realize that the plane is now in little pieces. Even the speed of a high wing trainer will surprize you iof you haven't seen one fly. Start with a high wing as others have suggested. An electric powered Zagi wouldn't be a bad choce if you had to go it alone. They are pretty durable. [8D]
