Hi Joseph, I agree with Orma, You have to stages of training, basic flight training and then the EXTRA skills to fly something that is quick and very responsive. If you can find the right instructor you could even do the extra stuff in your own aircraft, maybe :-) (someone might want to comment if that is possible where your are) I flew my KR2 with 18 hours of power time but I did have 200+ hours of glider time.
I would sugest getting some glider time because it will enhance your skill level and give you a different out look on flying (and it is FUN). regards Barry Kruyssen Cairns, Australia RAA 19-3873 k...@bigpond.com http://www.users.bigpond.com/kr2/kr2.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: joseph I have given serious to the time and expense, and I do have the time and the patience to take on this project. I have checked into flight training, and if I bought a plane, or build my own it I still have got to be a licensed pilot so that cost will still be there, but the satisfaction would not. Thanks for your input, It makes me feel better to know I am not spinning my wheels by chasing a plane I could never fly. Joseph J. Jensen
