LoL. Pending on closing the purchase. Will keep you posted. For sure.

I wanted to give everyone who replied to my post an update on my progress. I posted this topic about five or six months ago and received lots of valuable advice from this forum. Long story short, I took the advice and joined a local fly club at the end of November. Since then, I've attended...

Thanks for your kind offer of sharing more details about ownership. Will take it and really appreciated it!

Got accepted at a local fly club yesterday, and will meet with other aviators soon (monthly event). Sadly, in my home airport KTOA, a plane crashed and two pilots were fatally injured, around 11 am today. Was there for my flight, which was canceled due to the airport closure. Won't want to...

I can never thank you enough for your kind, encouraging, and insightful replies! I felt that my journey got renewed. Summary: 1. Change the mission from traveling to having fun. As @hindsight2020 so rightfully pointed out, traveling to places was a self-limited mission that I had in mind...

This question has bugged me for over a year. I had asked other questions during my days learning to fly and pass check rides, and I was lucky enough to get input from many of you. That's why I decided to reach out again. In order to receive more relevant advice and recommendation from this...

Hello Brandon, Just noticed your post from a while back. Are you still around KTOA? Would love to meet fellow pilots in the area.

Recently got my CPL checkride done. So happy! Coming back here to thank all the fellow aviators for your kind support in answering my questions. Hope you all fly safe and happy!

I do exactly the same when flying x-plane with control. Thanks for sharing your experience. Hope you could resume your IR training soon after all we have seem a couple of vaccines on the News.

Update for all: I flew again this Wed. afternoon for a XC in simulated instrument condition. Discovered a huge improvement and relief this time. I was able to trim when climbing and cursing, and the airplane just "flew itself" straight and level, and I could program the system, load the...

Eventually, I was able to let go of the control but still flying level and straight

Flew with my CFI Wed. afternoon. Shared with him the advice that I received from here. He goes like "sure, you should trim the plane, later. but for now, I want to you have more work to do during your training. Everything will be easier towards the end of your training, particularly when you...

Am truly sorry for your loss. Appreciated your sharing your experience with your c-172 which I flew a number of times during my VFR training. Love your attitude. Nothing can stop aviators' dreams.

Love this shorthand approach you suggested. Thanks

Greatly appreciated your detailed advice and invitation to N94. Will keep everyone posted as how my airplane ownership progresses.

I Will go flying later this week and plan to share with the CFII what I have learned from here. Lets say what his reaction is. Will also try out all the good sound advice.

I did form this sort of impression... lol. Found these two books! Appreciated. Reading now. For these who have Kindle Unlimited, they are actually for free! Reaching out to my local flying clubs.... Thanks!

Always want to own an airplane. First secured finance and got my medical. Set up a schedule to learn and finally got my PP certificate at the end of Aug. Very excited. Started looking online and checking out some airplanes offline at local airports. This afternoon, when driving away from my...

Lots of wonderful and helpful replies/advice. Will try out in my next week's flight and will report back to you all!

Thanks for sharing your experience! Very helpful. From the three replies, one thing in common is to trim the plane then temporarily "let go of the control" when operating radio or other stuff. I started to wondering why my CFII not letting me trim my plane. He asked me to "focus on flying...
