okay....i need some help picking out what to get.

What is the best trainer plane to get under $400?
(i was looking at xtra easy or alpha trainer, but any other good ones?)

Ive never flown a plane before or anything like that, but would really love to get into it.


Now, if i were to get one and try to fly myself without help from a pro....would i be screwed? Or would it be possible for me to teach myself somehow.

I mean, i would like to teach myself if possible.....but i think i might be able to find a pro somewhere to help me if absolutly i should.

Any info before i get started would also be greatly appreciated.
thanks!
