As everyone says...Welcome to the Addiction!
1) get a good instructor...you'll save time, money, airplanes, and frustration.
2) As the guys have said, there is so much going on just keeping the plane in the air, you won't notice how "slow" it's going.
3) there's still a tremendous amount of "neat" stuff that the trainers teach you...it's harder to keep a plane with dihedral inverted...builds your skill level.
4)don't forget to "breathe", and remember, all the planes have an expiration date...we just don't know it!!!
Your gonna love this stuff!
