By buddy box you mean the "trainer" function right?

I'm sure you guys are right, I'm just impatient sometimes, maybe this something I should be patient with, the only problem is that the only Airplane club in the area meets so infrequently, it would be hard for me to schedule a session around work. I would at some point like to fly the plane you know :P I do appreciate the help though, and I should probably just shut up and listen to you guys.
