    I'm sure you can. It just depends on how big a check they want you to write. I have just under 100 hrs and my insurance on a 1972 Arrow II is $1,800 per year. The insurance company required me to do 5 hrs with a CFI and another 5 hrs solo before I could take anyone with me flying.

    I called about an Arrow they had for sale. I didn't pursue the airplane because it really didn't fit my mission as it was a turbo.

    Documenting every hour

    I started recording my PPL lessons right before my first solo for the purpose of watching and learning from my mistakes as a student pilot.

    My experience with a Buyers Consultant

    I just wanted to drop a note on my experience with a Buyers Consultant (buyers agent) from my recent purchase of a 1972 Arrow II.
