If you don't mind the inevitable crashing, and repairing, and crashing, and repairing, well then yes you can do it!

I did it. 30 years ago. I estimate my first 30-50 flights ended up in crashes needing repairs. The plane survived all the way to a crashless full fight but it sure did look ugly and different than when it started!

There was no internet, and no sim's. So I believe you have a way better chance of success on your own today then I did. So many people are scared of crashing, and advise that you must only fly with an instructor. Hogwash! Get used to the idea of having a crash becuase it will happen eventually. If you are in a situation where it is difficult or impossible to get flying buddies or an instructor to help, you can still do it and you can succeed! It just might take a little more epoxy than some others.
