You are young and quite inexperienced in this world and probably feel invincible. My advice is to get your Private in the slow old beater C150. Get familiar and comfortable with flight planning and flying flight plans slowly (gives you time to think and recover from mistakes). Become a master of radio communications and navigation. Things happen very fast at 200 mph vs 100 mph. After aquiring your License, build some time and if you learn that flying really is for you, then move up to the high performance airplane. Slow down and don't be in such a hurry. You are young and have plenty of time! My .02 cents worth ..... Brent S.
