Holy poo poo, helno. What IS that???


This thread is taking me back to my love of Light Sports (RV/Vans). I also really really liked the Cessna Skycatcher, oddly enough.

So, a Monett Moni. Any chance you have a link of similar airplanes so I can get an idea on price? That looks like an awesome thing.

A glider? It looks like it has a place for an engine? Just decoration then?

airplanes

I spent 20k on an engine overhaul this year, unexpectedly. The engine was mid-time. There is no such thing as a cheap airplane. Purchase price is almost a nonexistent factor when it comes to the actual price of airplane ownership.

However, I plan on being an airplane owner for the rest of my flying life. Can't live without it.

Opinion: Family members make terrible business partners. You don't know that you're really all that into this, yet.

Suggestion: Use 7K to get your pilot's certificate. Once you start taking lessons, the BIL will get the bug again and you can slowly introduce him back into it. After the PPL you can poke holes in the sky by sharing an airplane or finding partners with other pilots in the community.


(Also, once you've taken the written, that's it. However, it expires after 24 months. You need your total certificate by then)
