my next flight

[xhase]

I plan on flying in a Cessna 172 on my next flight I'm trying to get my pilot license in 3-6 months so far I have done one flight but I hope the c172 is much better
because I have seen the inside I have be in one so I think it might be a better aircraft but maybe a bit harder to fly then the

Citabria 7ECA​

my next flight is at RHV in a week
so i have been getting ready for it

If you haven’t done so yet, before doing anything else, find out if you can get a medical certificate.

And then learn punctuation.

A C-172 is not a better airplane than a Citabria, and vice versa. They're different airplanes, intended for different things. A 172 can carry four people, but can't [legally] do the aerobatics a Citabria can do. A Citabria is a better trainer, though.

There may well be some issues involved that preclude issuing a medical, even on an SI.

"Better" and "easier" are entirely subjective evaluations when it comes to aircraft models.

Unless of course, it's "the 172 that is in for maintenance every other day is better than the Citabria that is not."

Yeah, that occurred to me, but the jury’s still out.

If you can find a school that will train primaries in a Citabria.

From the OP’s posts, it looks like he’s talking about Aerodynamic Aviation in San Jose, CA. They do offer primary training in Citabrias.
