I am beggining my private pilots license and went up on my discovery flight in a piper warrior. The instructor recommended the piper over the cessna 152 as I am a decent size guy (6'1" 210lbs) and so is he. I was concerned that it was $20 more an hour to rent than a cessna 152 or 150. Is it worth the extra $. It will add up to at least $800 or more in additonal costs
Two other questions.
I will be in Tampa. Fl for a few weeks over christmas break and wanted to take classes while on vacation. Is it possible to switch back and forth, is the training pretty standardized? I heard you need to stay with the same plane at least?
Also my ground school is on saturdays and i might miss a couple. will it seriously delay my time to get my PPL? My CFI said no, i can come back and take the ones I miss later but I wanted to double check.
Thanks in advance for the novice questions.
Any other advice on getting a PPL would be greatly appreciated.
