That’s awesome you will really enjoy it. I am definitely not a pilot but I know a few guys that are. Lots of cockpit time to get certified.

I have looked in to it and never pulled the trigger. We should talk.

Came just short of CFI back in the late eighties (private , commercial , instrument then onto hours to get a CfI, I know and have walked that walk. Even went to Alaska for a few months and came to the conclusion that it was more of a risk than I wanted. My father was a naval aviator and flew ww 2, the Korean conflict and squardron commander during the Viet Nam era and encouraged me to go that way but I did not, even though I liked driving race cars fast. (formula ford's and formula super vee and little bit of work in formula atlantic thinking I could make a living doing so and gave that up in the end because of the finances involved. Something about dieing from a long fall from the sky just did not work for me. Put me in car on the ground and I am good to go.
Good Wednesday morning, I am not a CFI, but I am an IFR, Multi Engine Commercial and IFR private pilot with tailwheel endorsement. Personally I prefer the Piper Super Cruiser, restored a 1947 and got a stc to replace the original 95hp with a Lycoming 150hp, moved the battery to the back so I can solo from the front seat. I have tundra tires and can land off field. Low and slow, it's great for spotting.
We have a Cessna 175 (1961). The original Continental with a gear reduction has been replaced with a Lycoming 180 and a variable pitch prop. Other than radios, and the engine it’s pretty much original.
now we are talking my kind of lingo, my gears are probably in your gears box.
Yes old company where I work make the PMA (after market parts) this case planetary cycloidal gears, ring & Sungear, reduction to the prop.
reduce the turbo jet from 10K rpm to 1500 rpm. o what fun it was.
I am obsessed with STOL flying. I come from a long line of pilots and its always been on my bucket list. Now that I'm furloughed I was seriously considering doing an online ground school to pass the time then start lessons once I'm back to work.
