I am just now beginning and have not had any lessons yet other than one flight on a buddy box at "newbies day". The reason I do not have any lessons yet is that the club near me has free lessons on Thursday night. I am involved with other activites on thursday nights and can not make it to lessons. I would love to have the option of paid lessons because I would then expect to be able to schedule my lesson on some other night or weekends. I would be able to learn much quicker. I have been trying for 6 weeks now to make it on Thursday and am unable. I don't feel comfortable showing up at the field at other times and asking for instruction because they already offer that on Thursdays.
