Thats essentially how I did my training except it was an actual FBO and not a flying club. One of the local examiner's here just retired from Continental and always has great advice for all the pilots. The experience that they all had combined was incredible. To just sit and talk aviation on a Saturady morning at the hangars when the weather was to bad for training was just an honor to be a part of. Not to sound to redundant, but if you can find a club or FBO like the one I mentioned above your training and character will benefit greatly (and wallet). I know they are few and far between, but they are out there. You almost feel as if your training with Yoda and the Jedi counsel!
