RE: The heck with it, I'm going it alone I guess...
one other thing I have a great club and never did anyone ever refuse to help me with any of my planes.
if you belong to a club and your not getting any help talk to the club pres. and ask for some one who might have more time for you or a more flexable situation as well as someone who is willing to set up time and dates and confirm them with you over the phone, its not that hard to do so you are not waisting your time as well as there's after you get some T.O. and landings in you will be ready to fly that field solo for sure.
