Jesus H.!! If you cant reply with something constructive that actually pertains to the guy's question, why not just keep your mouth shut! He's got more posts than YOU do!! Who elected you commander of the troll patrol, anyway?

Mr. Jones,
I would have to agree with the ones who say you need to TRY and find an instructor first. If you exhaust all options and cant find anyone, you might consider getting an FMA Co-Pilot device. At least that would give you some help. If you DO end up trying to go it alone, just make darn sure there is NO ONE at the field when you make your first flights. Hey, you never can be too careful. Also, keep flyin' the sim, even if you find an instructor. It will make you a better pilot in the long run. Good Luck!
