Personally think the Nanny Technology and tail dragger takes away from the real learning process.
Landing is really the most important thing to learn.

Would also go to a maintained club flying field with a grass strip so could learn to take off and land.
Even though around here it is a 20 to 30 mile drive for a nicely maintained grass flying field.
Not until very confident would I park fly. Probably part of that built the plane thing.

I soloed on my 9th flight the first time I took my trainer to the field. Similar with the nephew.
The only real difference was I got to sit and enjoy a cold beer between flights to help calm my nerves.

Flew thru a barbed wire fence near the field on my 11th flight.
Put a little barbed wire graphic like a kill on the side of my trainer.

But hey, I'm old school.
