I usually go two or three times per week during the summer. I got bit by the bug for this hobby in a BAAAAD way a couple of years ago. I don't think I swung a golf club or wetted a fishing line all last year, it was airplanes, airplanes, airplanes.

If you can find a club with a regular "training night" during the spring, they may have club trainer planes that you can fly with an instructor at no charge. Both of the clubs I belong to have strong training programs and we love sucking new pilots into our addiction!

Hope you get some flying weather soon, and happy shopping!
