I personally feel that a person should get an instructor to learn to fly for two reasons. The first reason is safety. Before you learn to have control of an airplane it can spin around and go places that you can't imagine very quickly. The second reason is to save ones self alot of money. What I don't understand and may never understand is why people always have to throw in the occasional shot about maybe having to go to the hospital and all this garbage. The way some talk on here makes it seem that a person should NEVER eat alone(you could choke), never weed eat your yard alone, never mow your lawn alone, never walk down into your basement alone(you could fall down the stairs and who would be there to help you). The list could go on and on but the way some people make this hobby sound and the reasons they give are blasphemous. This hobby requires COMMON SENSE to stay safe. This is no more dangerous than ANYTHING else one does dozens of times a day.
