Perhaps this has been asked, so if so, my apologies.

With my instruction beginning tomorrow (still hoping on the weather), I'm curious...how long should I wait between lessons?

I was originally considering once a month, but that means four years before I'd even be able to TRY for my PPL. 

I'm not rich, but I'm hardly broke, so maybe every two weeks.  Hmm....who knows.  lol

Thanks CraigL, as always!

We have covered this topic several times recently, but what does it hurt to re-hash? My strong point HERE is real world flying experience, but as I have flately stated before, my minipulation of the COMPUTER is accomplished with a sledge hammer! I find it extremely annoying when I ask a computer related question, and someone answers with a "check the topics from previous six months, we already covered this!" When someone asks a question about an approach plate or chart I don't say "It's real simple figure it out!!", I would expect the same courtesy at the other end!!
Now, with that RANT over ...As a former CFI at a 141 school, I have seen that the best, and cheapest method(if you have the time and ALL of the money), is to fly 2-4 days a week, and no more than two hour flights. I had foreign students that flew two flights a DAY,6-7 days a week, that were NOT overwhelmed by the amount of flying. I WOULD recommend that you do start slow though, just to find a groove and get situated(or acclimitized, as you well know they like to say in the Marine Corps! )

  Absolutely, don't--- DO NOT!!! buy "block time", I've seen it happen often, where people loose money this way, when the company goes "tets-up". The best advice I can give, is make good use of the "non-flying" time. Flying the airplane is the easy part, because it doesn't take much motivation to hop in an airplane and go flying, when you love planes! I hear too many new pilots say " I haven't flown in three months, so I haven't bothered studying either!" WRONG!!!! Big wrong, bad student!! BAAAAD!!!   The more prep you do on the ground, the less time you will pay for that overpriced instructor and airplane! Good luck Scott, I just checked the WSI, and theres a dominant high pressure over the great lakes, with the exception of early morning fog, upstate NY should have good flying weather. Have Fun!

don't spent too much time between two flight when you are still learning...you'll be flying solo much faster when you do lets say two flights a day instead of one a month...you'll pick up the skills much faster when you practice more intensively!
