It looks just like the avistar, probably flys nearly the same. Good trainer no doubt.
Don't be discouraged from the nay-sayers. It's absolutely conceivable that you can jump to a sport plane or even warbird, provided you have a deep understanding of flight theory and if you're like me, raised by nintendo, you'll likely have the hand eye coordination ready to go.
Get an RC flight sim for your computer, if anything, it will help you understand orientation and give you a vague idea of how a certain model might fly.
