Thanks!

I'm working on transition to PPL now. I had 39 hrs towards PPL from 20 years ago, so with the SPL training done I decided that the little bit of extra cost would be well worth it.

Sad to say, but I see a Cherokee in my future rather than an LSA -- unless the A/C costs start to come down....
