stuckingfk Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Lots of questions..." 09-21-05, 00:42z  I've been instructing in a Super Decathalon for 4 months now and have around 100 hours in the plane from training, competition, and instructing. What a ride it has been: Flying over 900 miles one way because of weather when straight line was around 500; Meeting reat people at the competitions; x-country flying with only a compass is a lot harder than I thought too. As for some future goals, I really want to make a career out of aerobatic flying, whether that be instruction or airshow. I know this takes years of practice and I feel that I have a head start with my age. I also have the drive and dertimination to be the best. Back to the topic... I guess my questions are: Is it viable to buy a two seat Pitts or Extra and instruct in it to pay for expenses? Since I'm 23 and in debt somewhat from flight training, I don't exactly have a lot of money to spend on flying. I have also been looking at single place pitts and they seem to be relatively cheap compared to factory 2 seaters. Basically, I'm love flying anything but straight and level, so any tips to afford this addiction would be great. thanks and fly safe Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
