Yep makes me really appreciate a 40/hr Champ!  Was just going to add that you don't HAVE to learn to fly in a 172**SP**! I realize that's the one in the videos that Cessna Pilot Centers use in their training ... what great marketing strategy, huh? "Let's encourage customers to spend almost twice as much as they have to." An older, less-expensive-to-rent C172 or even a C152 (depending on what you and your CFI weigh) will do just fine. You don't need a GPS or AutoPilot or some of the other high-tech gadgets in the SP to learn how to fly. IMO, that's just paying through the nose for stuff throughout the training that you won't use until much later. Of course, if money is no object ...
