Yeeup, join Plus One Flyers flying club and use one of their CFIs. We have very low rates on 152s and 172s (not that long ago the 152s were $58 wet). I think now they are $78.

Also, Carlsbad's Palomar Airport has 3 flight schools that are pretty well respected. It's a 35 minute drive north of downtown San Diego.

Plus you can visit me!

Pinnacle Aviation Academy in Carlsbad...I used to work for them just before I took the Picto gig. The instructors are really good, though it might cost you a bit more than Plus One...however the planes are in very good condition and fairly new.

Only the complex stuff has to be done in a complex. We have an examiner that we use that lets the applicant split the ride up. Some is done in a Citabria, and some is done in a 182RG.
