Hit it as hard as you can when learning. If you have the money up front then this is not an issue, and I don't mean paying up front! Don't do this; you may have noticed that this has been mentioned...But have the money put aside so that you can fly whenever the weather is flyable and you will find that the learning process becomes so much easier. Learning to fly isn't difficult (can't be, I did it), it's just regular practice that you need, same as any other motor skill.
