Hey guys,

Thanks a lot for answering my questions. This definitely gives me more motivation to go for it. In regards to purchasing a plane, I think that I'll take your advise and fly a few different planes before I decide to buy one.
My instructor and I have definitely ruled out the 150 or 152 because I'm 6 feet 215 lbs and he's close to my weight and height as well. I also realized if I fly with the wife it may be uncomfortable as well because she's a tall women (5'9 and 135 lbs).

About my wife, she loves to fly if you take away the fact that she gets severe mid ear pain. We're kind of working on that. We did a 23 hour flight to South Africa late last year and boy was she in pain when we got there.
Does anyone have any great solutions to that mid ear pain that doesn't require us to fork out a few dollars or pounds (depending on your departure airport) to purchase air plugs?

Thanks again,

Moses
