Scott, welcome aboard! This is a great ( though at times it can be frustrating ) hobby. One thing you might want to consider as you move from your trainer to more " advanced " planes. I know I`ve been glad I kept my Avistar in flying condition, even after I acquired and started flying other planes. It`s always good to have a backup for that inevitable day when that second or third plane reaches its unexpected and unknown " expiration date ". Also, you may find at times that you just want to relax and " just fly ".
