That's ridiculous that is almost what flight schools charge to train you to fly a full scale Cessna or Diamond. Between carrying out all the gear, setting up the plane, fueling, actually flying, you can easily spend three hours at the field, so you'll pay him $120? I contacted an instructor who wanted $20 an hour and I almost went with him but then decided to join the club that offers free instruction. Maybe this weekend one of them will be out at the "airport."
