Another approach is to find the club and see what they have for training. Many clubs have club trainers for use by instructors, and many other fliers may be willing to train you on their equipment. Amazing, but you might fly enough to solo with someone elses stuff. in the meantime you might win the lottery or find many others to donate used equipment or even find a spad builder to take you in tow. I have made five of them, and enjoyed them tremendously.
