If your budget allows I would suggest - gou out and buy a simulation software (I have RC RealFlight 2 - Light from Great Planes). It will NOT be a replacement for a good instructor - good instructor IS a great help, but will allow you to "get in the air" cheaply (when I started using it I "crashed" number of planes on my very first day ), but I was back "flying" in seconds!!! Plus, it [RealFlight simulator] has a "virtual instructor" too. Thus, in my opinion - about $100 for a good simulator is money VERY WELL spend.

Good flying!
