No! They are actually supposed to be pretty fast & not a Trainer type plane regardless of what Megajunk tells you. The guy at the LHS tried to teach himself to fly with one & spent more time driving around thru the asparagus fields trying to find it than actually flying it.
Get a more Traditional type Trainer & a club instructor. You'll fly much sooner & better with the help of a qualified Instructor & a real airplane. JMO.
