Hi Alan,
Welcome to the group. I hope your dreams come true.
I offer the following advice:
1. Set aside the taildragger (Cub) dream in favor of a conventional/tricycle gear plane for now. This will greatly simplify and speed up your training.
2. Find out where your local EAA club meets and attend some meetings. Get to know local EAA members and get some rides in different planes.
3. Find out where the nearest flying clubs are and investigate membership. Learning to fly in a club is going to be much cheaper than at the local flying school. If you can afford the rates at an for-profit flying school, all the better. We're talking about a savings of 50% here.
4. When you find an instructor that you like, keep him/her. If the chemistry is not right with an instructor, get another one.
Keep us posted on your journey to becoming a Sport Pilot, Private Pilot, Commercial Pilot, ATP . . . .
Fly safely,
Dennis
