Evo7,

I was just going to talk about the addiction side of things, but you got there first

Like you, I started off intending to have one lesson every week or two. I got hopelessly hooked, and ended up planning my whole life around flying, economising madly on everything else so I could afford it, and fitting in work around flying rather than the other way round. I've been that way now for nearly four years. I keep saying that THIS year I'm going to be sensible and just fly occasionally like sane people do, but I get severe withdrawal symptoms after a week on the ground! I wish I'd done this years ago, but like you there was no way I could afford it. So just go for it - a lesson a fortnight will do, one a week is better, more than that better still. It might not be the ideal way to learn, but that's life, and if you enjoy it, who cares.

To fly is human, to hover, divine.
