Thanks, I definetly want to be a pilot though my long term goal is to be a rotorcraft pilot. I'm just anxious to get started which is why I'm doing the part time thing. I am hanging on to my full time job because I plan to pay in cash instead of taking a loan out for training. There aren't any helicopter schools within 500 miles of where I live and with the housing market crash I don't see myself selling the house any time soon. The plan is to finish out this year working full time, hopefully have my F/W PPL by the end of the year and start full time training for rotorcraft next year. The free books from my brother was just $100 more flight time I can buy that's all, definetly not a bank breaker. Ideally I would be training 141 but the closest 141 is 60 miles away so I think in the long run the price of fuel in the car would negate any savings from that.

I guess what I was wanting to know more or less is that since I'll be training on weekends is there any thing wrong with going at it for two or three hours at a time? once I get past the initial stages that is. The advice given for rotorcraft is to not train for more than a hour at a time as it will plain wear you out and negate the learning process. I'm sure my CFI will answer all these questions I'm just very anxious and trying to keep spirits on the up and up if you know what I mean.
