Good luck with what you are doing man. Im in the middle of it at the mo. FI is the way to start when you get your ppl without a doubt. The only thing is if you are going to HA in florida make sure you can be taken straight in2 an instructors rating course in the uk. Alot of companies make you do a test before they will take you on which is awkward. I know cause a friend of mine took that route. Best of luck!!
