Honestly I would save up the money and buy a true trainer. Hangar 9 has some nice ones. Check out the P-51 PTS. It is ready to fly and allows you to advance your skills with out having to buy another plane. Then go find an instructor. It will save you time and frustration in the long run. A big part of flying is understanding the physics behind flight and having good hand-eye coordination. Anywyas good luck to you!
