If you care about safety get a check out with a good instructor until you have enough general experience of aviation and types to be your own instructor – and for most of us that is a very long way down the road.
Of course, if you want to take avoidable risks (inside the legal framework) that is entirely up to you.
A little tale to show I mean what I say:
At one stage I had a super day job with an aeroplane that would accelerate at 1.3 g on take off (Mr Newton says 1.3 g from a standing start gives 2.4 secs to the legal limit on the motorway). But I just drove ordinary cars until three years ago. Then I got a little toy that was small, light and had 220 HP so would reach 60 in 6 secs and had no trouble doing 100 in third with a six speed box and was electronically limited at 155. The last time a professional looked at my driving was 43 years earlier when I passed my test. So I booked in to a (very expensive) driving course to learn how to drive defensively on the roads and how to handle the poke on a race circuit. After three days I had learned a lot about the car and myself. They so impressed me with their C.O.D. (Concentrate, Observe and keep your Distance) that now I find I don’t even like to have the radio on when I drive as it is simply a distraction to concentrating.
I reckon the more you know the more you should realise you have to learn . That goes for any trade - but especially flying. IMHO It is never naff to do more training.
