Loving this thread... although I'm totally baffled why you wouldn't want an instructor to help you learn the basics, rather than throwing away money. You had an instructor when you learned full scale, right? (I know my first full scale solo was ''interesting'' enough, if it had also been my first flight I wouldn't be typing this lolol).
This gentleman "likes doing it himself". Don't get in his way. Lots of money, lots of time, superior knowledge. God I wish I had a LHS near by!
