your welcome to come to my club I am in Tampa on i 4 and 75 .. trac .. or you have Can am by you to the west on 54 .. you have bay city flyers ..
you're learning curve will be accelrated if you get with someone to teach you and your plane gets trimmed and all the bugs worked out of and you actuly geting learning flight time instead of trying to fix things flight time ..
to tell you the dead honst truth the only pepole who'm just pick it up cold trukey are prodigys and mostly young kids with vary high motor skills and a even higher abbilty to learn ... I've seen many many adults Fail at flying and become more then year long stundents .. ... not saying you have to go to club just saying it's cheaper and easyer
