No CFIs at all in your area?

Well, yes, but I hate having to pay someone sit like a lump. Besides,
I'm really picky about who I fly with, and I've found a lot of CFI's are
just stupid. I don't have much patience for timebuilders, and less
patience for finding a good CFI. The guy that did most of my training
was good, but in another stage.

We're talking about -7.5 in both eyes.

You beat me. I'm two thirds of that.

I beat most people in that respect. :-)

However I wear full size glasses
- I can't stand little ones - can't see out the sides.

Problem with full size glasses and a prescription like mine is the lens
is very distorted towards the edges (I have myopia). It's simply too
difficult to see through that distortion, so I wear small glasses. It's
either see through the distortion or have zero peripheral vision, both
of which are bad for flying.
