<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS">i know this is probably against everyone's better judgement (somewhat including my own), but i have a friend at work that wants to get into flying, but doesn't have the liquidation fundage to get a couple of planes. what is everyone's take on learning to fly on the tiger 2 or 4*40, or something along those lines? i usually push for a regular trainer, as well, but am not good enough myself to get him on a buddy box with one of mine. or maybe too nervous. i don't know.neither of us are currently in a club, as the closest is about 45 mins driving. i fly at a lions club that has about 6 soccer fields. maybe 8. never counted all the goalie boxes. with a good instructor at a club on a buddy box, would it be too much to learn? he's a jet mechanic also, so we both know how planes and aerodynamics work, he's just never been on the sticks. </span>
