Visa for USA

Apologies in advance for yet another question:

After the ATPL theory I plan on going to Florida to hour build and afterwards continue training for the CPL and ME in the USA (most probably EFT). The dilemma I have is that I don't think the M1 visa required for flight training (which as far as I understand it the flight school acts as a guarantor for) will not cover me for hour building.

I have had suggestions to enter the country on a tourist visa to build hours and subsequently change it to a M1, so any suggestions you may have will be helpful. Once again, thanks!
