did you fly the LT-25 on the buddy box? sounds like the 4* is coming along good... thinking of building one myself.. or perhaps a hog bipe.... oh yeah... and as far as schools go... for an aviation school you can't go wrong with Embry Riddle Aeronautical University... they have everything from flight training for civil aviation to aviation management (which is what I"m doing) Oh yeah.. and if you go the military thing.. and I have to say this by default... go with the Navy not the Chair Force (couldn't helpe it sorry.. hope I don't get flamed) alot of people don't know that the Navy actually has more airplanes than the Air Force... but that's just my extremely biased opinion... might have something to do with my 8 years navy service
