Will training in a more complex airplane be beneficial for ab-initio
I've got a chance to train in either a C152 or a Grob 115. I've done a few lessons in the C152 but recently tried a Grob. It's a really nice plane but more complex (higher 180 HP, constant propeller). I took a lesson in it, I really liked it... but then again I also felt the airplane was running away from me (things happening much faster and having to understand the MP and RPM...) - it would definitely slow down my learning (but then again maybe I am not in a rush) but one side of me also thought it may make me a better pilot mastering a more complex airplane, and makes the C152/172 easier down the road. On the other hand, the C152 is nice and relaxing in comparison (can understand why it's such a popular trainer!)...
So, are there any advantages of upgrading at this stage of my learning? Or should I wait later on before upgrading?
