A lot of it depends on what you learn to do. If you learn to fly a single stick plane then you should be ok. But also remember that the majority of the flying world flys dual sticks, so getting help may be a bit scarce in places because there are few that do fly single stick. But if you have a local resource that can teach you single stick and you feel comfortable with it that way go for it. But if you are still in the planning stages check with your local club and see what they recommend.
