Default RE: looking to get into planes

I have had the Mustang PTS for about 4 years now. It was my 2nd plane. My first was a NexSTAR and after flying it for only a week I was hooked. Then a horrifying thought entered my head-" what if I crash my NexSTAR, I won't have anything to fly?" I promptly ordered my PTS, put it togeather and spent the next month admiring it while I flew my NexSTAR. I am glad I trained on a high wing trainer as it made my transition to the low wing Mustang a lot easier. I still had some nervous moments with it the first couple of flights but gradually they went away and now I still fly it regularily along with my NexSTAR and my other 15 in the fleet. It would be a good starter plane with the right instructor leading you, but a high wing trainer sure would make the transition easier (besides you need more than one plane anyway)
