It's all been said .... Get access to a <font color="#800000">simulator</font>, Join a <font color="#800000">club</font>, get a <font color="#800000">Competent </font>instructor, fly with a <font color="#800000">buddy box</font>. That's about it. There's a lot more to this hobby/sport than just flying the plane ... U can always tell a self taught air plane driver, from a club Educated Pilots ... Usually by just their actions and where they tend to fly. <font color="#ff0000">ALL OVER THE PLACE</font>.
Good Luck
