The only way I'm going to learn to fly is to practice, and get a feel for it myself,...... . I'm just one of those weird people that only learns by doing it myself, not by watching others do it..
With an Instructor, YOU will fly the plane... But when YOU get in trouble, HE will keep YOU from crashing.

I'm just impatient sometimes.
You're waiting for someone to get your plane down, imagine how long you'll be waiting while you repair it, or build another one.

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.
So try getting in touch with someone NOW. Florida's got lots of retired fliers that will gladly meet you any time of day and help you out. Instructions are free.
Something else to consider is this... You live in a heavily populated area. Suppose you're flying your plane near a field that you're not aware of, you could shoot down a plane worth thousands of dollars and/or have yours shot down simply because you were too impatient to do it right. This is not a video game! You could do millions of dollars worth of damage and/or possibly kill someone.
