Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Sport Pilot training costs - My recent experience

Since I recently (first week of April) finished my SPL, I thought I'd post what my basic costs where for any prospective students out there.

I did not do an accelerated program, so most weeks were 2 or 3 lessons per week as work allowed. There was also a two week period of bad weather/work timing that set me back a bit.

I just included the basics above -- I didn't include my new iPad and all the apps for instance :)
