Whiskey Tango is on a distinguished road
I rented then joined a good sized flying club.

What I found was that aircraft availability went down in inverse proportion to the weather and the weekends. In other words, great weather on a weekend - planes were not always available. I eventually bought and only went back to renting/flying club when I wasn't flying the hours. Once I got back into putting in the hours - I bought again.

I agree with flying a few different types to see what you like best.

If you do buy, pick a plane that is easy to sell and have a very thorough pre-purchase inspection done - like an annual type inspection.

Best to you and your endeavors both with training and with the aircraft decision.
