I have to agree. You may want to rethink your first plane idea and get a trainer or a really great instructor. I have been an instructor for more years than I can remember and in that time span I have taught many students on many different planes. I can tell you first hand that the students that tryed to learn on other than a trainer either failed completly or took alot more time to learn and spent many extra hours repairing. Please go to your local flying field and seek out the advice of an instructor prior to your first flight. Good Luck, Dave
