Try going to a local club and see if they have an instructor. Most of us that teach have a trainer and buddy box so there is nothing except fuel for a student to buy. I even loan out my Sim to students. No reason to buy stuff if you don't need to. After I get a student to solo I let them fly my trainer until they buy there own plane and gear. Depending on how well they can handle the trainer decides what kind of plane to buy. Usually something like a Pulse or 4*. I also teach building and have been using the 4* 60 as the learning aid.
