Well, I finally bit the bullet and paid for my AMA BEFORE the wife type could convince me we needed to spend that sum of money on something else.

Now I've a question..

Do I get with the club NOW (like I really really really want to do) and start flying, only to have to hang it up from January till April (I'm a tax consultant and expect 80+ hour weeks over that period) or do I wait?


More importantly, since I will almost assuredly start now anyway :P, Even if I manage to get solo'ed before my busy season hits, will I retain enough of the precious skill to not need an instructor again in April when I get back to things? (I fly a flight sim at home at least a few minutes daily. Probably wont do that more than 3 times a week during the season though)

just one of the many questions I am pondering :P
