Change a horse in midstream? Bad idea! !

At only ten hours, you need to stick with the single type until you have your license. Chopping and changing leads to confusion, believe me! I learned to fly power in the 152, an excellent choice for the basics. And later, with a years experience, about 70 hours, changed to the Warrior to do the Instrument Rating. What you might enjoy is flying an aerobatic cleared Cessna 152 with an instructor, and do stalls, spins, unusual attitudes. That would be all excellent background and you would really understand your aircraft.

Johnm, those women ATP pilots were all well past their basic training by the time they could climb into a Lancaster or a Spitfire, read the handbook, and fly the critter from the factory to the RAF airbase.
