I'm deciding on online ground schools right now for ppl. Apparently Kings is extremely cringe, and still VHS quality.

Sporty's is updated with modern graphics, and available on a bunch of platforms including Roku???

Gleim is another contender, but I'm not finding much independent info on it.

Embrace Kings, it might be old and cringy, but it works. Plus they've got a sale on right now for their 50th anniversary, ends next Thursday the 15th:

$250 off Career Bundles
$150 off Get-It-All kits
$50 off Ground School, Checkride and Combo courses

Now I feel short, I set the C172 seat 7 turns from the top

I go up about 10-12 turns from the bottom, sometimes I wonder if I'm too high up, but it gives me a good sight.

I don't trust the cessna rails, so I want to hear a good click and push against the seat during preflight

My school has a rail locks on all seats. The only problem is there's one or two planes where the rail lock is so far forward that it makes getting in and out tough. I've asked a couple times to have them relocate that lock a couple inches further back, but no luck.

After being away for a bit over five months, I'm finally getting back to finishing my PPL. I've got about 90min of solo XC and 45min of foggle time left to do, Then it's just pounding away in practice trying to get myself to checkride spec. My written expires in September, so I have a bit of time, but I really need to stop lollygagging.
