Not to be the bummer here but, I would make sure the boyfriend actually want to fly first....its $58 to join the AMA which he would most likely have to do,,then there are club dues which range from $30-$200, you should check that too...he probably does have most of the ground equipment...,but there are lots of car guys that have no interest in flying ,much the same as there are flying guys that have no interest in cars.....ask first lilgirl....Rog
Who says he would have to join AMA? I fly with a friend all the time, he is a good pilot, and I am learning. Niether of us are in the AMA. Also, if it is a Christmas present just get it, he will like it. Afterall it is the thought that counts, and I am guessing that you guys have already discussed it. I cant imagine anyone getting a FREE plane given to them not wanting to take the time to learn. Anywho, Stay with the high wing trainers. You can get an rtf from horizon for less than the 200 you are wanting to spend
