Are you looking for 1 on 1 coaching, team coaching, RW/Freefly or what are your goals?

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites rehmwa 2 #7 December 19, 2011 Negotiate it specifically with the coach from a wind tunnel. In the end, the combined cost is all you are worried about and if you arrange coached time with a coach that is able to negotiate the tunnel price directly with his employers, you might end up with a win-win for both student and coach. This might also work with coaches that don't work at a tunnel. But I'd try to work it by focusing on the important part first - finding a very good coach you resonate with, and then work together to see what you can arrange. ...

This depends on your tunnel skills. You can go to Denver and get 1 hour of tunnel time including the coaching at the beginner to intermediate level for $800. Once you start getting on your head you're going to pay another $75 or so for more experienced coaches. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Jockeyshifter63 0 #9 January 2, 2012 If you are in the area of a tunnel and can be there every week then check into a "league". Several of us block out an hour a week with a coach. We each get about 6 minutes in 1-1/2 min increments during that hour. That way you can rest, watch yourself on video delay and then make adjustments on your next flight. Helps keep it a bit more affordable and in some cases you get the same coach every week if that is what you want. I know it doesn't sound like much but you will be surprised how quickly you will improve with consistant coaching. We even have a competitive 4-way team during our hour and they combine their time to do all kinds of drills during their slot. Fun to watch.
