Hey Lew I live about an hour from you, just across the indiana border. I've been flyin for 20 yrs, hovering for the last 5. If you have an ama card you can come fly as a guest at our club or do like I do and keep a plane in your car at all times, never know when you need to pull over and toss one in the air. I'll be glad to give you any help I can.
