Welcome!!!

As a beginner, you should invest in a trainer aircraft. These can be had for $200-$300 as ARF's. The issue you bring up must be a photographic trick, I have never seen this issue.

If you are interested in warbirds, the Hangar 9 P-51 Mustang PTS would be a good fit for training.

You ought to join AMA and find a club and talk to the instructors there; they will be more than happy to assist you!
