I started back into this hobby with the Sig Senior Kadet. Big, 80" WS, gentle, it almost flys itself. I practiced with this trainer which is a high wing trainer, and have moved on to low wing trainers. The idea is to get as much stick time as you can, learn, and improve, then go to the more agressive types of aircraft at your own comfort level. Remember, it's your investment out there, so take care of it and fly the plane you are comfortable with, the one you can control to do every command you give it. Have fun, and never take your eye off your airplane.
