Pre-takeoff checklist
The wife has decided that she wants a second engine, so I might be moving up from my Cardinal RG (possibly to a Twin Comanche).
The insurance quotes are staggering, and I am still in the process of comparing other cost differences.
I have about 900 hours, but basically no multi time (and no multi rating).
What do y'all think about the relative merits of learning from a local MEI in my new plane, versus getting the rating in a dissimilar model at a flight school somewhere (I think there might be multi training at INT, about a hour's drive from my house).
I can see the advantages as gaining familiarity with my plane and simultaneously getting to the 25 hours dual point prior to carrying passengers.
I am concerned about wear and tear on the plane by repeated stowing an engine, however.
Looking forward to everyone's advice,
Wells
