Zildjan, I'm 14 years old and got into the hobby around mid-August. I started with the P-51 Mustang PTS, which not only looks awesome flies well too. I am being trained by one of the guys at the field. I like it much better than trying to learn on my own (Piper J-3 Cub which turned out very. very poorly). There is much more input and insight into the hobby and really helps believe it or not. I made my first solo the other day and it would not have been possible without all of the great guys at the field.
