What would a realistic range of sale prices of this project plane be within a month or so? A new Rans S-6ES airframe kit alone is $25,500. Just wondering about orders of magnitude for this one. Near scrap, a few thousand, $20,000, etc. Rans S-6ES. Original builder made a mistake with the...

Just starting to look at buying a plane. If I owned my own plane, I could easily see putting enough hours in per year to beat renting. Least expensive is key. Low gas usage is key too. Understand too low of an initial price means higher cost because there's stuff wrong with it. Know to have...

Looking for fractional ownership of a single engine land airplane that is fuel efficient. Two seats is fine. A Cessna 152 comes to mind, but certainly open to other possibilities. I live in Canton, Michigan. I'm closest to 1D2 (Canton-Plymouth-Mettetal Airport), but KYIP (Willow Run Airport)...

The accountant in me is very confused. A flight school (part 61 and 141) operates out of 3 airports around me, with 11 planes. Renting a Cessna 152 is $89/hr wet Hobbs with no fuel surcharge. A 172 is $126. PPL instruction is $45/hr. My impression is they're among the largest around...

Is a flight in the F-4 through the Collings Foundation going to "feel" like flying with the Blue Angels? Taking out the "oh my God, I'm flying with the Blue Angels" factor. Also taking out the factor that the F-4 may have to stay higher up in the air for most of their maneuvers than the...

Please send PM's with what you have, and what you'd want shipped to zip code 48187.

Really appreciate everyone's responses. As a response, in general, I think I'm going to start with the simulator, but be really conscious to not do more than quickly glance at the instruments. I could be totally wrong, but I think I'm one of those that will later feel they really benefited...

Can you obtain a private pilot license under part 61 from a flight school authorized to do either, then after obtain an instrument rating or commercial pilot license under part 141? The flexibility of part 61 for private pilot appeals more to me despite the extra minimum of 5 hours of flight...

Thanks everyone for responses. Happy to put in extra time to keep costs down. Looks like videos & more reading might be more productive rather than flight simulation. Or at least, simulating certain things after real lessons. Goal is to build up to 1,000 flight hours and get an...

Just planning out private pilot license training. The idea of Gleim's private pilot training course that is integrated with X-Plane (simulation software), which allows you to go through the entire course before actually getting in a plane really appeals to my learning style and desire to "solo...
