On a more serious note, I have been reading the threads about low hour options. It seems getting my instrument, then CFI are the most "suggested" route to take for building time. I think thats a great idea, except I am a terrible teacher.
I am thinking short term to get my total 50 hours of XC time needed to begin IFR would be to buddy up with someone with the same goal. Now I have asked everyone under the sun at my local FBO about sharing time/getting time. (Why is there not a regional section on this forum!? I need to know who is local looking to split costs with!)
Do you think this is my best option for getting my time for XC to begin my IFR training?
What makes you think you are a terrible teacher? There are people that thought they couldn't teach and love to be cfi's and vise versa. There is a regional section on the forum right under the major section. Time sharing is probably the cheapest way to do it but i would say it depends on your situation. Do you have an airplane? Are you renting an airplane? Did you go to a school? The reason im asking is it can vary with cost. good luck!
