RE: Beginner??? Probably!
This is one of those times I've got a little angel on one shoulder whispering, "Tell him it's not worth the risk of losing the plane and injury to his son, himself or their property," and on the other shoulder a little devil is whispering, "Don't say anything and see what happens."
When I was learning to fly, flying alone, I actually dive bombed at myself full speed, not once, but twice in the same flight with a wildly out of trim airplane. Both dive bombings I was within a second of hitting the dirt to save myself lol. I saved the plane. What are the odds of dive bombing straight at yourself twice when there are a million other directions a plane can go? LOL, that would've been pathetic if I'd hit myself with my own airplane.
Anyway, my advice is go find a club to learn to fly.
