Hello Sport Pilots et All
I am new to the forum and flying in general.
I have just begun taking lessons at Austin Bergstrom Airport.

Step Up Aviation here has a Tecnam P2004 Bravo however I have chosen to start off with Above and Beyond Aviation mainly because of the instructor so as a result I am training in a C-152 Aerobat.

I suppose some where down the line I will switch over and get certified in the P2004 so that I can go the Light Sport route. Hopefully the knowledge will apply.

Welcome, Theo, both to the forum and to the community of aviators. The 150 aerobat is a good trainer, but it flies very differently from an LSA. So, when you transition to the Techam, do pay attention to the POH and the instructor. Although LSAs are supposed to be simple, easy to fly aircraft, they have their peculiarities which must be mastered.

Have fun, and stay safe!
