all your initial cfi is, is being able to explain what you are doing while you fly and the rest is allllll knowledge. when you go up with an FAA examiner be prepared for a 6-8 hr oral. know every regulation, aerodynamics, weight and balance, how to teach maneuvers, every little thing about your aircraft, and weather. Not trying to scare you off or anything but be prepared to study hard, but the flight training should be no sweat.
