Hello Everyone. I am interested in getting a SPL, although the closest school with an LSA (162) is about 2 hours away. I simply cannot commit to starting towards the SPL due to distance.
However, I did find a pilot closer to me that has over 15,000 hours and has been training for nearly as long as I have been alive (35 years). After speaking with him I would like to start lessons with him, BUT he does not have an LSA - closest he has is a 150, which does not qualify.
In an attempt to solve my quandary I am wondering if either of the following options would suffice:
Greatly appreciate any input from the community!

In an attempt to solve my quandary I am wondering if either of the following options would suffice:
- take about 20-25 hours of training in the Cessna 150L from the flight instructor that is only twenty minutes from me and then take the remaining 10-15 (around 35 total) hours at the flight school that is further away with the LSA; OR
- take 20-25 hours of flight lesson with the aforementioned trainer (one with the 150) and fly to the airport where the LSA is located, then rent that plane for an hour or two of training and then take another flight back the originating airport?
Greatly appreciate any input from the community!
