yeah i shu;d've got trainer, ive been flying some planes in a simulator and a trier (eg: slow stick) is much easier to fly...
but when my AB arrives in a few days, ill how i go with it... do a few takeoffs and landings, and see how it behaves itsself in the air. if ill have lots of toruble controling it ill go buy a slowstick for another AU$100 or so...
oh and i bouth my AB on eBay for AU$65(+35 postage). So it probably would be a fake one, but cheap
