Good luck 
Agree with Dicho, because eventually you will want a decent stick/throttle set up and being on good terms with the parental unit(s) makes getting it much easier.
Another word of advice ... spend most of your time in the early/late war arenas and the training area. I'm 99% convinced the late war arenas are 99% of the reason given by the people who quit in the first couple (up to 6) months. The people in there can be brutal, both in the skies and on 200.
Just my $.02.
Good luck!
