Default Any pilots in here?

I'm about 1/4 of the way through my private pilot's certification, and was wondering if there are any other flyers on this forum?

I signed up for one lesson once and then found out how much the rest of the lisensing requirements would be and never bothered taking a second lesson.

My dad is, I could easily put in the time to do it in his Cessna, but I have no interest. Not my cup of tea. In other words I can't afford a P-51.

I've looked in to it and someday I definitely want to get my license but there is no way I could afford to right now. Good luck.

I've been told that I ride/drive fast enough that if I had wing's I'd be flying... does that count?

Hitched a ride on a bunch of flights back when a buddy was going for his. I'd love to do it but I have way to many other priorities going on right now.

I use to fly r/c helis which are harder than planes. I had a small plane for awhile as well. It is infinitely easier than piloting a real aircraft.
