I responded to alot of these threads and rather then restate those opinions. I'll leave it like this
Start out on a tame low winger IF:
1. You can find a qualified instructor willing to teach you with it.
2. You don't mind the alleged increased potential risks of destorying it.
Bottom line its your money and your time (provided you find a willing instructor). Some people can do it others can't problem is you will only find it if you are one of the former rather then latter in hindsight
