If you are a beginner and have never flown it will be wise to find a club and have somebody teach you. Find out what they fly and recommend so they can give you pointers on that particular plane. I have a Tower Trainer with a GMS 32. Great plane, but I think they all are. Search th AMA site for a club near you. There are probably 500 people who fly within 20 miles of you. You would be surprised.-BW
