Hello all!
I am currently a student pilot (20ish hours in) and I know I like it and want to continue. Wife is all about it and I think the family is more excited about me getting the license than I am. Started getting really interested in the -10 after SNF this year and reading the websites etc...I know I want to buy a plane, but after that it gets a little cloudy. Im fairly sure the -10 is the way I want to go but I would really like to re-enforce that by seeing (riding?) in a -10. Im in the NE Florida/Jacksonville area (CRG, FHB, HEG), anyone around willing to let me take a look...give me a lap or two around the field? I would throw a couple of bucks in for gas..maybe fly down to Flagler and ill buy lunch. Im pretty mechanically inclined and love tinkering so im pretty sure ill be down for the building end of it. Realistically, this will be a 5 year project (hey...Ive got 2 small kids) so Im thinking rent (buy?) a 172 and fly that to get me some time before the -10 is completed. Any help is appreciated!--Chris--
