Teach Myself To Fly??
Howdy yall!
Recently returned to my country of birth after living in the US for 18 years and all I can say, "WHAT A DUMBO AM I!" The problem is that I have a few trainers and I really want to learn to fly, however I am unable to find anyone in this place who will assist me and as such i am on my own. The plan is to learn to taxi, gradually increasing taxi speed, then I will seek a long stretch of wide land within which I may gradually increase my taxi speed to flying speed, getting off the ground for a few seconds at less that 5 feet altitude and then returning to land. If after practice I am able to become proficient in this phase, I will then move on to higher altitudes of straight line flying. If the planes still exist after this phase, I will seek a wider field, and then move on to slow wide turns and then onto a full turn after which reverse control will be the issue of the day. It is the only thing I see possible as I am unable to find an instructor in this hell country and I am unable to afford a puter simulator.....things in this country cost at least twice as much as identical items in the US and salaries here are about one sixth of that paid in the US. So I am in a great predicament and seek advice from you guys.
Anyways, great to know you all and I hope to be in this forum for as long as I am in this lovely hobby. At least I can look at my beautiful thunder tiger trainers and see the beauty in them and appreciate their size and majesty.
Thanks yall and have a great year!
