I just took my first flight lesson. I am working on a video blog here:

Can anyone reccomend a good text to read? Does anyone know where I can rent a light sport?
Cheers,
Roy

It looks like you're in a good place to fly LSAs. There is only one available for rent within hundreds of miles of me, and they ran it in the ground and damaged it heavily a couple weeks ago, so I'm out of luck until I find some other option.
Check this page out: http://www.sportpilot.org/instructors/wisconsin_1.html
It looks like you can train in a Cub right in your home town, and they have a Remos G3 in Oshkosh an hour or so away. |

Roy:
If you are just starting flight training, that means you will be flying a lot in the coming year. Have you thought about buying your own airplane instead of renting?
Just a thought...but if you use your own airplane in a flight school, on a leaseback program, you could be making money on your airplane, earning tax deductions, and flying in a 2009 state of the art aircraft. It only takes about 30 hours of rental income per month to break even and fly for "free".
Find several friends (5 of you) who can afford a $ 250 monthly "used car payment" and you can become an airplane owner. I have more information on this idea at http://www.lsanorth.com/ctls.htm There is an Excel spreadsheet on the bottom of the web page.
