Im hating having to use an instructor....let look at my timeline here...

Early April, bought a NexStar...
Next weekend, go to feild, nobody with a radio with the square futaba...ok
Next weekend, only 2 people there, not willing to train, they were new still
Next weekend, Get a flight in, then wind picks up...instructor sais he'll prolly solo me in a week or so...
Next weekend...different person there, get a flight in with him, get the same response as the first one...

<big life change, new car, job, puppy....alot of things going on...fast forward to about a month ago>

Ok, been a while, but i go to the feild, a different one now, longer drive but supposedly more organized...
First time at new feild, 3 or 4 people there, real nice, get a flight and a half in (first was deadsticked), did the second flight without him ever having to let off the trainer switch...
Next week, go up, too windy (nobody's fault)
Next week, nobody there, on a beautiful, calm sunday with low wind and blue skys...arrgh...
Now im comming up on this weekend, and have this hurricane of the coast down south thats prolly gonna rain me out...


SO many times i've wanted to just go fly (i could easily get away with it at the first feild because of the lack or organization there)

I can handle the plane...the day a few weeks ago that i got 2 flights in, there was about a 10 mph crosswind across the runway...and i handled it (wind was my main concern) ...

I have easily spent over 300 hours on the sim since april (couldnt get out to fly, but i flew at night on the sim) and my reflexes are natural now...

I'm starting work on a community/club site that would make this process easier i think for participating clubs once its up and running as far as scheduling...but that wont launch untill december....

I just hate the wait...especially when i Know (and im not being cocky) that im capable of flying...im I the best pilot? far from it...but i know am good enough to not need an instructer holding my hand at this point...
