Guys! After being on this forum for 3(? Maybe 4) years, I can finally say I'm a private pilot. After 7 discontinuances for weather and mechanical issues I finally finished it. The VOR almost went out(stopped working and had to replace fuse mid flight) which almost made me land and try an 8th time but I can finally say I did it. Now time to build/buy something fun... Like a lancair (jk I would kill myself in one of those )
