Default RE: New to Planes

I think your wish to "go with a nice plane in the begging (sic) so i will never have to upgrade" is misguided. You need to start with a trainer, or something like one (e.g. Big Stik) before you move on to more advanced models. Do you think the Blue Angels took their first flying lessons in F/A-18's?

Once you've mastered the trainer, then you can incrementally move up to the next level. Hold off on getting that 40% Extra until you have some experience under your belt unless you have very deep pockets.

A simulator is also a big help and can save you a lot of money, even after you've mastered the basics.
