okay, gotta answer here.  Been lurking on this list for a long, long time. 

Seen a lot come and go and heard a few conversations that should not have 

taken place.  I dislike anyone slamming anyone for any reason.  Each has his 

own opinion and given in jest, no problem.  Thin skinned need not apply 

here.

Now, I put my SlingShot up on blocks after flying it cause I need the wheels 

for my four wheeler during hunting season and for baiting out of season.  I 

take them once in a while for use on the lawn mower although it is so dry 

here in the south we are importing water from Aridzona.  (We dont have many 

wildfires cause peanuts and cotton dont get high nuff to burn good.)

I studied hard for all the tests but I am a mustang flyer with no formal 

training so it was tough (oldtimers decease didnt help)seems I remember 

everything that dont matter and nothing I want to.  I would recommend to 

anyone to get a CD package that shows hands on controls and one on one 

teaching.  It is not that hard, just gotta stay with it and get it done 

while it is still in your head.

Now, gotta get out there and find that  armadillo I shot last night in the 

yard before another one buries it.  (wish them good tex'ns would keep their 

pets in texas)  Ted

Ted,

   

  I know in the college football circles us Tennessean’s and Alabamian’s don’t always see eye to eye, but I just don’t see what all the hubbub over conserving tires is all about! Here in TN we have been multi-tasking out tires for years and years also! Way long before mulit-tasking became somewhat of a desirable activity on a computer. Besides, it sure is a lot easier to run the bush hog around a blocked up vehicle that’s got no tires, especially when the tires get flat and the vehicle practically lies down on the ground! At work we are learning that extra inventory costs… and tires that are not being used, sound like extra inventory to me!

   

  But back to my reason to be writing... congratulations on the Sport Pilot ticket! I wanted to ask if you went through any school, or self-taught, and where did you find the instructor/aircraft/examiner? I have some vacation time, and would even travel to a site that has all these to work through the schooling process quickly and easily. I can’t even find a flight instructor within 100 miles of here! I need some training to be legal in my FS2. So if nothing else, what CD package did you choose? I know the list is chock full of high time pilots who don’t need this information, but I just wanted to throw those questions out there, for the few of us out here that are not quite "legal" yet... but are interested in finding out more!

   

  (Bracing self for rebuttals... good thing I have thick skin!)

I would like to mention and I must have somehow put the sport pilot info 

page on the web but forgot to put the link on the index.  it is not 

complete.  S.A.T.



I spent approximately $1000 getting my plane registered, airworthyness cert, 

one hour pre-test flying time, 3 hours ground school, books, 2 days 

hotels/meals, and examiner.  if you have to take training, it will be 

considerably more.  get your plane ready while you are preping for the 

final.  ted cowan, alabama
