Those of you with your private pilot licenses, did you take your time working on it or did you just hammer it? A flight a week? Every other day? Eh?

Back when I did it, I hammered it when I could afford it and took my time when I was broke. You will get through it quicker if you can do it all at once, and save some $$$ too.

They key to it is, if you can afford it, fly often.
You have less time to forget what you did previously...

2 a week min if you can. Knock it out as fast as you can and don't bother getting started unless you got enough money to finish.
