Well, I guess to answer everyones questions, you will just have to wait and see. Around the end of July, beginning of August, I should be finished up with my training. At a small FBO in Rural Kansas. I started Feb 21st, 2006. Oh and paying far less than anywhere else I have seen.

You mean you have gone from 0 hours to being on schedule for a CFI rating in 7-8 months? Wow...Just Wow if that is true. I did not think it possible at a small FBO.

How many hours do you have? What ratings? How much did it cost? Are youi rich, or did you take out some personal loans?

I have 130 hours about right now. I am on schedule to be finished in about 6 months start to finish. I am not rich, but I made some good investments and never borrowed any money. That is how I am able to pay cash for my training. I also pay as I go, usually about $4,000 at a time. I start flying the Twin in a few days to start my CMEL. After that I will transition to the right seat and do a combination of CSEL and CFI work until I get to 250TT and take my CMEL,CSEL,CFI,CFII,MEI checkrides.

I do not fly everyday, but most days I do.
