Just an update,
Gig informed me in another thread that this place had recieved a Zenith
601 for flight training. And that is true! They are doing flight training
at Bryce Mountain Resort, the inn is 125 a night. 10 hours with instructor
is $1200 smackers and a 5 hour block will only run you $650. I'd love to
fly a 601 but I ain't paying that kind of price..it's a sport plane not a
Gulfstream I may have to wait until Gig gets his finished! HEE HEE
Anyway web sites are www.sportplanes.com and www.maspl.com. The also offer
a complete sport pilot package costing $4290, you can get a PP here for
that !

Jeez, that is high. I'll bet the price drops when no one takes them up on
that. There is no way in hell it costs $130/hour to fly a 601XL unless there
business model has them paying the thing off in 1000 hours.

I was planning on going there or to one of the other sportsplanes.com
centers for some dual and time in model before I do my first flight.
Hopefully by then the price will have dropped. Either that or find out who
is financing the plane there will probably be a repo in a few months.
