Well Im also a senior in high school, but I think I have it easy right
now. I have about 200 hours and a fresh IFR ticket. I talked my Dad into
buying a plane, A PA-24-250 about 3 months ago now. I have been trying
to fly around 3 time a week and 1-2 x-countrys. But the gas does get
costly. The cheapest way is to find friends that like to fly, and other
people at the airport and spilt the cost right down the middle. That
makes it alot cheaper. My dad works about 150 miles from our house and
he stays at my grandmas during the week, but he has me pick him up
sometimes. So I get a few hours doing that. But the best way is finding
people at the airport and trade off doing saftey pilot.

If you just want to build time you should be pulling the power back
to 45%! Or you should have talked your dad into the PA-24-180. ;-)
