Getting Started and purchasing a LSA

Talk about airplanes! At last count, there are 39 (and growing) FAA certificated S-LSA (special light sport aircraft). These are factory-built ready to fly airplanes. If you can't afford a factory-built LSA, consider buying an E-LSA kit (experimental LSA - up to 99% complete).

jet docks are the floating docks that people store small boats and jet skis on. You just drive up onto the dock. It would protect the hull from water, give something to tie down to and peace of mind that it isn't going to sink.

Good news on the training front for me. I met with the local EAA chapter today and it sounds like training costs should be very reasonable. They have a membership group that owns the trainer plane which costs $250 a year to join and then they charge $10 + fuel (at 4gph on pump gas) to use the trainer plane. Their are about 4 CFI's in the group and they pretty much volunteer there time to members so they charge $20 per hour plus the cost of the airplane usage and then all the money goes to the group. There a great group of guys and there primary goal is expanding the world of sport flying and making well educated aviation enthusiast pilots.
