Myself and fellow mechanics live in Alaska and can travel but would prefer to go to a flight school with a accelerated program as good as the above mentioned schools, just a little closer to home. If Lockwoods or Stewarts are your recomenditions then so be it but ugh that's a long ride. Jobs, and family are the reason we need to accomplish the training in a accelerated format. We have completed 1 of 3 scratch built CH-701s and expect the next one to be completed in late spring. We have started the book work and plan to be ready for the written before flight training.
Good flying weather (April/may), great instruction, accelerated training are what we want most and if it's a little closer to Alaska thats a bonus. Based on what I've read I'm hoping for a two week program.
A good recomendition of a flight school is more important than a flashy web page to me and would be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou
Dave
