Thanks for the advice. I'll avoid the bipe for now.

Once I get a hold of the club and find out about instructors and talk to one (if the snow ever goes away), I'll see about being trained with the AT-6. I think if he puts it in the air and lets me fly it before deciding whether to train me on it, then I'm good. I have 40+ hours on that airframe alone in sim, so I can handle it in the air I don't just bank and yank. If not, then I'll look for a box trainer. Thanks for pointing to the Rascal Campy, its one of the least ugly trainers I have seen.
