***Not about RV's, read on if you want to.***
A little out of place but I can't find anywhere better online. I first heard about the RV back on Discovery Wings(R.I.P.) when there was a show of one being built. That was about the time I realised thats what I want to do. However the first step is going to be getting a PPL certificate since I have a total of maybe an hour right seat in a C-172, 18 skydives, 3 model RC airplanes built/flown.
When looking through the FAA CFR's I did not really get an understanding of what is required for "ground school." I would like to do a home ground school and was wondering if anyone here has any experience with this. Also, I do not mean programs that can be purchased (like king schools etc...not that I think there is anything wrong with it).
The only thing I found was "suggested study materials" on P.6 of this document ( http://www.faa.gov/library/manuals/aviation/media/faa-h-8083-27a.pdf )
Little more info on me: 23yr/o , B.S.E.E., little excess income at the moment (driving reason for home study), plenty of excess time I wish I could be using on building/flying a plane but as always its either money or time never both, Macon, Ga area incase anyone wants a cabin buddy/build buddy (255lbs gross weight but thats down 10 in the past month and dropping ).
