Jstyle13,
That happens sometimes, sorry about that. But keep looking, having an instructor makes all the difference in the world. I went the same route as you, but as an adult. Couldnt find anybody to train me. It took me two years and 12 planes, repairing, building new, until I could fly decently but not great. I met a nice old guy that buddy boxed me for two flights and that cleared up almost all my problems. This was about 20 years ago. So now I teach in our club because I dont want anybody turned away no matter what age. We try to be as friendly as we can, to a fault sometimes.
