I got bitten by this bug big time about a month ago, and registered here shortly thereafter.
Thanks to the advice, tips and deals here, I have a radio, plane and engine enroute that I am confident I can build and learn to fly; I know where my local club is and have been there and met people who are friendly and helpful; I am a new AMA member; I have downloaded a free simulator and have dozens of hours in already!
You guys rock! Thanks to all who contribute!
