obk,

I'm in the Seneca 200T these days,and I'm 17
"These days"??? What were you flying before? 'Only' a non-turbo twin?

However, I didn't mean that jet breeze should think twice about the 182 because of his age, just due to the experience level he would have shortly after a PPL. There's nothing wrong with flying fancy stuff when you're young, just when you're inexperienced.

Theoretically you could be RHS 747-400 at 18...

jet breeze,

If I were as young as you, as indeed I once was and did, I'd go for a short stint in gliders. Once you're within touching distance of 16, start your powered flight training. Flying with an engine brings fantastic flexibility and provides for some great adventures, but there's definitely a little something to be said for flying without one.
