What's the easiest way for me to fly without commiting to an expensive
school? Can I home study for the FAA test, and then rent a plane for
the 40 hrs. needed?

I bought the King study course on diskette and VHS (many moons ago). I
scored 95 on the knowledge test. I think the course was a BIG help. I
had a hard time following the ground school instructors at the flight
school.
