I've flown microlights that really are like powered kites - compared to those the Thruster T600 is very much a normal aeroplane from the pilots seat, just lighter and slower, and without flaps. Somebody should go from one of those to a CT or C152 without many hours training and the concept of "less of an aeroplane" is about snob value, not flying enjoyment.
But as I said before, train in what you're going to fly.
