Wouldn't it just be more cost effective and simpler to just teach the pilot to utilize all flight controls in the plane he is doing most or all of his training in? If you have one available, sure, take him for a flight in a taildragger and have him shadow you on the controls so he can feel how...

I don't have the spreadsheet in front of me right now, but I saved up about $6k before starting (plus an extra $600 for the checkride that I set aside separately), and added about $200-$300/month or so to it while I was flight training (I was working fulltime while training and that was the...

Welcome to POA, Johnny! I don't know where you are located, but I used to live in south-central MN just south of Mankato. I ended up training in Estherville, Iowa, about an hour and half south through an independent CFI and renting a plane through the FBO there. It worked really well for me and...

Two. We ended up with this one, too, though sometimes I wish it were only one as this one loves clawing things and vomits when she eats too fast, is nervous/excited, or doesn't stay still long enough after eating despite special diets and vet visits...but at least she is snuggly!

My CFI drove an older maroon Honda Pilot, with a vanity plate similar to that. :D @jordane93 , I think my parents bought a 2023 Pilot (could be a 2022, but pretty sure it's a 2023) and they have driven it pretty hard since then, even on multiple cross-country road trips, without issue. (IIRC...

I got my first mailer a few days after my 16th birthday, and I used to get twice-yearly mailers until I moved. I thought it would be hilarious to attempt to sign up and see if they'd let a 16-21 year old get an AARP membership, but I didn't have the disposable income at the time to cover the...

Are you feeling like *you're* not living up to expectations or that *flying* isn't? If the former, another vote for normal feelings. I went through something almost exactly what you're describing, down the hour mark even. It is especially hard when you're used to being successful fairly quickly...
