    How realistic are these ownership costs

    But is there nothing you can do about that kind of thing before you buy? I don't know if it compares at all, but I have some experience with classic sports cars and while a lot of people get burned, the fact is that with a good inspection by someone who knows what they're doing, there is very...

    How realistic are these ownership costs

    I was pretty surprised when I saw this, as he claims you can own and operate a plane for a lot less than I assumed. He has another video where he does a similar breakdown for an Aeronca Champ and he comes up with an even lower cost. Tldr version: he reckons you can get the total cost down to...

    Recording lessons - recommendation

    Well, the flightcordr cable that I linked to worked out perfectly. I recored my last lesson with my first gen GoPro and recorded the sound on my phone with that cable and got them synced up. There's only one thing that bothers me - the instruments are almost completely invisible for most of the...

    Recording lessons - recommendation

    Thanks for the tips. I wonder if I can use my phone to do the recording, and only buy the cable(s) needed. One thing I find odd is that all the systems I see for this only have one input. They always say that it records everything - but when I talk, I don't hear my own voice in my headset. Does...

    Recording lessons - recommendation

    Not sure if this is the best sub forum for this...but I'd like to record my flying lessons with a camera, so that I can review things later, and hopefully spot things that I didn't notice at the time. I talked to my instructor about it and he thinks it's a good idea too. Right now the only...

    a couple of newbie questions

    The cost is quite a bit more. When I looked at what the school had in the fleet, I decided I should learn in the 150 because it seemed so much cheaper. I thought the money would be better spent on more hours. But when I asked my instructor, he said that what isn't so obvious was that you can get...

    a couple of newbie questions

    Got it. I think what he's telling me is consistent with this - he also said that the vibration I felt was not the stall. But I think he could tell a fraction of a second before the wings dropped and he was trying to get me to pick up on it too. I'm sure it will all become clearer with time. I'm...

    a couple of newbie questions

    Well he's quite a bit taller than me and definitely weighs more. I hadn't thought of that but maybe that does have something to do with it. Interesting...several times I said "there's the stall" after I had felt that vibration for a second or so, and he was adamant that I was calling it too...

    a couple of newbie questions

    Hi, I'm a new member here just starting out ppl training. I just had my second lesson and although my instructor has been great in answering questions, there are 2 things we can't quite get to the bottom of. I wonder if anyone could shed any light on these things?: 1. I cannot feel what he...
