Hi,
17F and I landed a job working the flight line this summer.
So far the only airplane that I've ever manipulated the controls of has been a sweet little early '70s Bellanca (Osceola WI) Champ 7 ACA complete with the two-banger 60 HP Franklin and . . . well . . . lots of character. Is it short sighted (or amazingly perceptive) of me to do as much of the work that I can to obtain a PPL in said airplane with just a hand-held, ASI, smiley-face, Altimeter, Mag Compass, OPI, Tach, and OTI? Is it better to learn the basics without distraction, or to go in with more bells and whistles?
