Thank you for all the great information. I have been looking at a kit I can help with and put a stronger engine in.
We are rennovating our current house and dock on the Lake. Say goodbye to every single penny I ever saved! Seriously, I want to give up on this joker but it's so beautiful here.
Good news, we are selling our other house in April, finishing phase two of this renovation. Hopefully freeing up extra money I need for flight training.
I would like those POC's in Florida. Due to my limited options and seclusion, it may be my ONLY option. However, in saying that I don't expect to be ready to go off on my own. I will continue flying with an instructor after obtaining my certification until I feel I am ready.
I need this. This is very important to me and gives me a lot of extra freedom. I wish I could explain but I am sure everyone gets it. Outside of having a family, and serving in the military, this is something I have always dreamed of.
This whole process isn't going to be easy but like I tell my children if you want something you have to work for it. It might take me longer but eventually, I can get there
I recommend you contact First Landings in Apopka, FL. I did my Sport and Private tickets there. This school has trained over 20% of all Sport Pilots, more than any other school in the US.
