    So is this a bad idea to learn to fly on?

    I think that's the plan now. Get near where I can solo and pick up what we want. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    All solid advice in this thread, thanks everyone! I like this don't buy until post-solo. That sounds like a plan. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

    There is no plane yet, we're just tossing around ideas/dreams. I realize the logical choice here is to learn on the cheapest method possible, whether that be buying a 150 or renting through a club/school/FBO. Just stirring the pot here ;).

    OH! So it's like a twin turbo Z06 with 1000+hp? Even more to the point.

    No idea why, I just think they're cool. Not a fan of high wings, the Mooney's appear to be very efficient for getting around.

    Correct, the engine really had nothing to do with that. As a novice, the glide speed scared me a little bit for now, at least until I have some hours under my belt.

    My dad and I have been talking about this for years. We need to run a few more numbers, but if it's anywhere close to the cost of renting then it may be worth considering. The short wings scare me a bit. I'm told the glide speeds are pretty high in the event of an engine failure. I guess...

    Looking for good flight instructor in Central Texas

    Bumping this, I would love to find a CFI a bit more west near Lakeway as that's where I live. ABIA, KGTO, and Austin Exec are a LONG way from me.

    Discovery Flight...achieved. Wallet, empty...

    I'm convinced the only way we escaped penalty laps in the Texas race was mainly due to expensive bottles of liquor and plates of brisket, ribs, and sausage made in our pit. I was informed that just this past weekend in Iowa, our little e30 met the side of a mustang and is now totaled. We can...
