kallend 2,162 #27 August 26, 2006 QuoteI've been looking into this myself and I've heard a few ways to shave the cost off is to get the books and pass the written before you ever show up to take a flight hour. By doing this you can be soloing by 10 instuction hours or so. I did something like that and soloed in 7 hours, PPL in 41. I also bought a 1/2 share of a plane (Cherokee 140) before I started and avoided rental costs. Sold the Cherokee later for more than I paid for it, and bought a Mooney.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
