I am looking to buy a used instrument rating DVD set, King or Sporty's. Let me know what you have. Thanks

Coming from a very similiar situation, this is my advice. 1. Ask to move back in with your father for free rent and groceries in exchange for a few chores around the house. 2. Have a decent car? Sell it, get a beater of craigslist. Use the additional money towards school or flying. 3. Take a...

Yep, out of Addison. I just need a week of 150ish @ >10.

Well, If there's one thing that I learned this month, its patience. I'm ready for my solo cross-country, but these gusty winds have kept me from doing them. It's probably been the most frustrating thing I've run into so far in my training. At least I've gained a good amount of relatively strong...

Well, I went up again today and REALLY improved my trimming. I could still use a little more practice, but it is much improved over my previous flight. My CFI also told me to use the electric trim for the bigger adjustments, and the trim wheel for fine tuning my trim. Now, I just need to focus...

Congrats!! I hope to be where you are soon.

Thanks! I'll be sure to check out DFWPilots.com I'm currently renting from Lone Star Flyers and flying with Preston Bakic. The experience has been great thus far.

Hello All, I am new to the board and just wanted to introduce myself. I am 24 years old and currently a student pilot with about 45 hours. I've been flying a C172 based out of KADS and should be soloing (again) today. I started flying back in June of '09 and got to solo x/c before running out...
