That's great that this guy gave ya his phone number & is willing to make himself available to you. Sounds like you just found an Instructor. This is a great hobby & you'll find that most people you meet in it will be like your new friend in that they are more than happy to help in any way they can. You'll find that to be true in here as well so stick around!! Lot's of good knowledge in here, free for the taking from some very experienced flyers.
