I think it is a great idea. As soon as I get the plane I'm building finished
I plane to start collecting ratings and this would be a good way to do it.
Vacation with the family, when wife and son are at the beach go get my
taildragger endorsement. A couple of hours of solo time afterwards to take
the son up would cap it off nicely.

Thanks for your reply.

I expect a checkout would involve 3 to 5 hours. Basic Proficiency is
what would be required as per the feds. There would probably be limited
solo use.

The flight location would be about a 30 minute car ride. I would take
care of that travel.

If someone already has taildragger/cub time, probably a shorter checkout
time would be required, again to proficiency.

I would offer several condos of various sizes, both on ther beach and
off the beach. Prices would reflect the differences.

I have a 55 foot cockpit motor yacht, and would plan on usin g ti for a
3-4 hour evening cruise with refreshments.

Again, thanks for your input. I would plan on geting this going next
March or April.

Dave
