Well I can say I would agree with that! But I did not say fly around with
your friends for 90 hours. I do agree to get the time in by your lonesome ,
but if every great once in awhile you want to take a friend , then by the
regs for SP you can. I think it's great you grew up around airplanes, I did
not get involved with them until I was 18. Finally now at 40 I am flying one
instead of just fixing them for the Marines, airlines and such ! I'm having
a blast with the old planes, flying and getting to tinker on them as well.
Myself I won't be able to get a PPL due to one of those nit picky
reasons you mention,... but I can promise you I will be a good pilot And
I know I will have to be very very comfie with my skills before I consider
taking anyone up with me. By the way how's the 601 coming along? Are you
going with the Rotax or some other powerplant?
