Unfortunately this is true. I almost came really close to throwing in the towel asking for the rest of my money back and going someplace else.

I was already to go after ground school, and the instructor tells me the plane I have scheduled is out for mechanical, no problem we can take the brand new Alarus low-wing, nope the starter crapped out on that one too. Then a student finishes and if I want we can go in that plane (this one has had problems with the front struts). Well we are taxing out, winds are picking up just a tad and I look at the instructor and tell him WE ARE GOING- you call and file the ADIZ flight plan, I check the plane. Taxing out to the run way, I turn left and all of a sudden there a sh*& load of either H20 or gas leaking out of the wing (and no its not from the run-off spout). I look at Patrick and he looks at me and I said "Ah, maybe I'm not suppose to fly today.

I'm really frustrated....
