Default RE: just starting out bulding from ebay

You may not want to learn to fly with that particular plane. Thats a full aerobatic plane,
it will be quite a hand full if you havn'tflown before.

An instructor will surely advice you the same. You should learn with a trainer type plane.
Once you have had several successful flights with a trainer you can move on to a second plane.
Tricycle landing gear is also easier than a taildragger for a new pilot, for taxing, take offs and landing the plane.

Dont get me wrong, thats a great plane, a friend of mine has one and its fun plane,but its no trainer.
These guys here are giving good advise, get an eperienced instructor to help you learn, and use a trainer type plane.
