Hey Pilot!

Well, welcome to the site. It sounds like you already have a bit of a headstart in all this in some way - if not in the institute memberships at least in flying... REAL flying!!

Don't say you're ancient, there are quite a few of us-- er... other "thirty-somethings" out here.... ahem... I'm sure..... somewhere

I first came to this site early this year and have been able to achieve only a handfull of LD experiences. I probably stand a better chance of learning how to control your copter over the gulf than conroling my own dreams - but I think this site increases my chances considerably.

You'll find a lot of people here who share the same goals as you and hopefully you'll be able to share some of the knowledge you gain elswere as well. I've never heard of Silva Method, TMI, and Gateway - would like to hear a little about those.

Well, good luck to you - both in your dreams and in the skies, and I look forward to hearing more from you.
