Default learning the hard way....

While there are flight clubs around, I can't seem to time things to hook up with an instructor, and when I do, the weather seems to be bad. I work a lot and have young kids, it's all my fault (of course); the instructors I've worked with are great, but the problem is still real. I've been trying this for three months, and only been able to get in three lessons (2 flights per lesson).

I'm at the point of putting my gear in the Attic, or going it alone.
I have a large field I can fly at during lunch time during the week; I've had three lessons, but have never landed in lessons (although I have snuck in three flights solo, only two of them had successful landings, but the plane is fixed and checked out now).

I know this is the outlaw approach, and I really didn't want to do it this way, but i'm either going to hang it up, or go it alone I think. I don't want to use my .40 and .60 size trainers like disposable razer's.... If I go it alone, any suggestions what I should fly? Or is this so far out there I should just put my gear in the Attic and try again in a few years (then what will I spend my time thinking about.....)

Thanks for any comments
