Anyone here buy their own airplane to do their training in before being
licensed? I am a glider pilot transitioning to power. Any
suggestions/recommendations, advice, cautions? Thanks in advance.

Bought mine one month after getting PPSEL. Then used it for
instrument training. Given the frequent conflicts with weather,
maintenance, other users, it really helped to have my own plane, not
to mention the familiarity with the plane's performance, settings etc
that comes from flying your own plane. That is very nice for
instrument training and flying.
