Not at all. I train out of Cullman, AL in a C-152. So far the training
is
going good. I did have a time getting used to rudder work (and still do
occasionally) but its getting much better.

So, what do C-152s rent for out there in Cullman, AL?

Hell, 55's not old!

Unless he's starting to quote his age in hexadecimal like some of us have
done... grin

Congratulations on getting your ppl. I hope to get mine before the year is
over.

You'll get it when you get it. Depending on what the weather is doing, and how
much time you have to consecrate, it can take longer.

Don't be impressed by the young ones who claim to have soloed after 7 hours and
were ready for the PPL well before the 40-hour limit. In today's regulatory
context, 60h is more typical.

It's a highly rewarding thing you're doing.

i'm almost 60 and the big thing i remember about sharing the pattern
with big flying lizards is "you're ok behind, just don't spend any time
under".

I don't know. I'm 52 and I seem to recall there being pteradactyls in
the
pattern when I was learning how to fly.

old, just sexy senior citizens.

From one sexy senior citizen to another "welcome aboard" I started my
flight lessons at age 69 and now
10 years later still flying my own C150. You have many years to go,
enjoy!!!!!!!!!

Not sure about Cullman, but I about 60 miles north of there (Huntsville) and
I rent a 152 for $65.50 wet.....

Cullman right now rents a C-152 at $70.00 wet. Think the price will be
coming down real soon.

Thanks. I'm not racing to get my ppl. My objective is to learn as much as
I can and do things the right way.
