I like the the idea of buying the second plane first.
It’s nice to be able to do all your trining in your own airplane.
It’s probably not the most cost effective way. You easily blow through $10k with hangar rent, insurance, maintenance, finance etc. $10k is what I estimated at $200 per hour incl CFI and plane rental times 50hours.
Just be aware that a 172 is probably not going to be your last airplane.
No. 3 airplane should be a Beech.
I’m a CFI at KLZU. Let me know if you are looking for a CFI.
Thanks
Thanks. I'm still taking things slow now (though thinking about doing King/Sporty's and knocking out my written) while watching virus numbers. Ed shared a few CFIs at my local airport, and I will keep you in mind.
I'll definitely hit you up for a tour of your Debonair when finalizing a 2d/3d plane
Fortunately for me (but not the wallet?), my wife wants something we will be able to use to travel with friends, so I will eventually be looking for something bigger than most trainers!
