It isn't polite to ask a woman her age, so I won't. But I am on the big numbered side of 50 and with my eyesite not as wonderful as it use to be, not to mention other parts that don't move like they used to. I started on a Tower .60 Trainer. Alot had to do with the size in the air (visability) and my desire to go into a little larger aircraft in the future. My second plane is a TF Contender.

My trainer almost flies itself and is VERY forgiving of my newbie mistakes. The down side may also be the size. With my pickup it isn't a problem to transport it, but if you only have a family sedan that might pose a problem.

Hope this helps a bit.
