Congrats bud! This is the exact same way that I learned, no instructor and no experience. that was a few months ago. since then I have joined the ama and a local club. I will say that everyone on here usually has some sound advise to give but when it comes to an instructor it really hasnt helped me one bit. might just be the fact that one of the instructors at my field is kind of a mean old man but when someone is in my ear yelling at me when im trying to focus it tends to throw me off a bit. besides, guys like you and I are from the video game generation, that gives us an advantage over all the old farts!!! kidden.
