I got my license started at the age of 14.
First few flights were in an aeronca champ (basically the same as a piper cub).
My training flights were on a Zenith CH-701 STOL.
This was 14 years ago back when we were just trying to get the passenger certificate up, and the "advanced" ultralight class was still relatively new.
I've flown some cool stuff, and plan on some day building an RV-4 (not an ultralight, the gross weight is pushing the limit and the stall speed is too high).
I haven't flown in a while, but I'm positive it wouldn't take me long to get my wings back under me.
I had a natural ability for it. My first flight I was 13 with a friend (owner of the champ I flew in) and in my first flight I was already flying approaches to a grass runway with some "obstacles".
I did my first full unassisted landing in flight 3 of my training, it was just something I was good at, despite the fact I needed a cushion on my seat to see properly and could just barely reach the rudder pedals lol. My instructor was pretty happy, I was his youngest student ever so he was concerned at first, but I picked it up faster than almost anyone else he had taught. But, it was likely because I was that young, and I'm sure playing flight simulator helped to understand the physics of it all.
My intentions were to be a full on airline pilot one day, and just as I was ready to go to Canadore college to follow my dream, 9-11 happened so I had to take another career choice.
Eventually, if I ever get tired of motocross, I'll start building my RV-4, but keep it just an experimental VFR aircraft to go up and rip around in or some leisure cross country flying on the nice days.
I had a really lucky few teenage years spent on a grass strip, and I've seen some really amazing aircraft up close. Favourite flight however has been in a WWII Harvard... And it wasn't the touristy flight you could get at the Hamilton Warplane museum
What are you doing your training in? I'm going to assume a beaver or a chinook? I had a quick jaunt once in a totally open beaver that was basically a seat bolted to that main chassis tube and nothing below you... It was cool, but I like some form of a cockpit lol.
