that may not be an easy plane to fly. you generally want to go with a high wing plane for your first because of it's self righting capabilities. when you are new to flying, new to the reverse orientation thing, and just new to watching a little thing buzz around in the sky under your control, you want something more forgiving that doesn't want to crash. that as a low wing plane with a good amount of dihedral will not self correct, it will be a point and shoot plane. that is the kind of thing you want in your second of third plane, but not your first. i suggest that you get a cheap trainer, and put all the stuff in that you have now, and when you graduate, put it all back in
