Default RE: Teach Myself To Fly??

Leftnut,
Very precise explanation. After reading your instruction, I feel like taking my trainer out and fly as per your instruction but too bad it's nearly 11.00 pm in the evening!!
I already had 2 lesson which spread in a 2 weeks span and each lesson lasting only about 15 minutes. the problem at the field where i'm flying has only 1 instructor and there's a queue. So a second lesson on the same day is impossible. Moreover I can only go to the field around 5.45 pm in the evening on weekday(6 plus, the sky will start to get dark) as my work required me to work late. I have 1 or 2 days on weekday that I'll go off at 5.00 pm. On sunday, the instructor only come in the late afternoon and as usual, there will be quite a number of students waiting. Even if I'm in the first queue, the most it can last is again 15 minutes. I'd thought on the ideas of making a few friends at the field and learn from them but the problem is that this is a new field and there are no expert flyer at this field. So I'm left with 2 choices which I'd like you guys to help.
1. Get a sim, say G2 realflight and practise at home and at the same time, still learn from this existing instructor. Do this sim really help? I'd not try it yet but i'm willing to try if you guys say yes.
2. Get a personal instructor and set timetable for him or HER to teach me. or
3. None of the above but your advice.
P/s: the cost to buy the sim and to get a personal instructor is about the same.
antonyall, need to apologise for squeezing my problem into your post
