Hello,
I'm in the early stages of figuring out whether I can (or should) purchase an aircraft. I'm a new pilot, just a dozen hours past my PPL certificate.
My area doesn't have any flying clubs within 1hr drive and the rentals basically aren't available except in summer. (Heavily booked flight school fleet) Basically I need to decide... purchase, move, drive hours or just go back into R/C planes and upgrade my flight simulator.
I know this question has probably been discussed to death, if you have any threads handy, I would appreciate some links, I'm having trouble finding with the search.
I'd probably fall into the older model C172/similar category and flying for personal/fun hopefully around 70-80 hours per year.
I've been doing my homework but still trying to find all the hidden costs, average costs, noobies like myself don't think about like taxes/registration that you wish you knew your first time.
Thanks for any links, tips, scares...
