you would think you would get bored with a trainer, but they are really a lot of fun. they allow you to learn the basics of how a plane responds at different attitudes, how to touch and fgfo and so on without having to worry yourself with trying to stabilize the plane the whole time. when you are new at the sport, it is an incredible advantage to have a plane that won't crash because your thumb twitched or something incredibly stupid like that. for instance, my cap 232 (the one you see in my avatar) is really picky, had some habits, and so forth that were too much for me to handle even after 2 years of flying. i would reccomend a high wing trainer also becasue, they are a lot more forgiving with landings, if you bounce you don't put an ugly scrape in your beautiful plane, and you won't believe what you can do with a trainer. I have seen guys with fuel injected engines, onboard video cameras, retracts, shock absorbers, and even parachutes all on the same plane, which happened to be a trainer. your first couple of landings will take quite a beating on a pretty boy plane, better a trainer
