ecosse, well done on your tomahawk flight, PA whatever it is! Your experience of microlite flying turned out to be useful. good show.
Only one suggestion now, and that would be DON'T change at this point to the Cessna, stick to the one type and master it. You will progress much more quickly to solo. And then having the low wing types under your belt, the Cessna highwings are very very easy to fly by comparison. The 172 may not be glamorous but you can take up the family, and they can see the ground more easily sitting in the back seat of a l72.
Once having spent all that money, the next step might be instrument flying, that should be useful and challenging. Keep us posted with your progress!
