Well I found a flying club here in LA (Hawthorne) that I may go thru. It's called "A&E Flying Club" that is fairly inexpensive. It sounds like a GREAT oppournity for me as I can get some GA maintenance experience while training for my pilots license! The rates are right up my alley. They have four 172's and rates are around $84-$140/hr. A&P's get discounts and instructors usually charge about $20-$40/hr.Yyou pay your monthly dues and every third Saturday , they have a mandatory maintenance day. I think it's going to be a good fit for me!
I talked with another club and instructor and he suggested that if I want to save money, start studying ground school ASAP and get a simulator/yoke and fly the crap out of it! I think that's what I'm going to do!
Thanks everyone for the advice! Nice forum!
