Sweet Lord A'mighty!
The page that the link below goes to shows a weight-shift Eagle, if I'm not mistaken. That's the bird I first learned to fly in.
How about a poll on this? What was YOUR first airplane, the one that you actually flew?

Quicksilver MX, two axis. It was tough to unlearn those skills when I went
to the Firestar II which is three axis. Lanny Fetterman N598LF. BTW My
application for amateur built was rejected by the FAA, no reason was given.
They sent me new forms to fill out, and put me in the ELSA catagory.

John, I'd trade my MkIII even for one of these. 37 hp would make
things fun:

Cessna 140, 1963, Griffiss AFB aero club. If I'd stayed with it instead
of buying a car to chase wimmen, they had two mint Beech T 34s to fly
after you got your ticket.

First time ever off the ground -- Navy SNJ, and I got sick! -- military, bored, hotshot pilot seeing how much I could take. We both found out.First PIC a Cessna 172, not exciting but a safe, stable aircraft. Nowhere near as 'good' as my beloved 170.

-How about a poll on this? What was YOUR first airplane, the one that

Well, I solo's a Hughes TH-55 helicopter in September 1968. Was a
wonderful time indeed. By this time I had accepted the fact that I
would probably never get to go to flight school in the Army. However,
at the ripe old age of 29 and a senior Captain, I had made it.
My first fixed wing flight as Pilot In Command was my Ultrastar.
Built and flown July 1984. This was my first flight and also my solo
flight in a fixed wing aircraft. Don't recommend anyone else being
that stupid.
First GA type solo flight was a Cessna 152 in June 1990. Needed a
Private ticket to fly the mkIII that I was building. Never got more
than 20 or so hours in the Cessna's. Could not wait to get back in a
Kolb. I did get an hour in a 152 two years later because I could not
find a CFI that would give me a BFR in my mkIII.

Looks like you did more buying than flying. 
I have built and owned three aircraft:
Ultrastar
Firestar
mkIII
More than 14 years and 2,500 hours in the mkIII. Hard to believe I
could get one to last that long. The first two did not take me long
to wear out. hehehe

Wish I had been more like you... There were several "keepers" in the bunch that I wish I had now...
Up until 16 years ago I was a GA mechanic and my Dad was a Beechcraft dealer... It was an excellent vehicle to buy, fix up, fly and sell (hopefully for profit) aircraft... It was my whole life and I really didn't have an additional life...
