Jennifer has got me to thinkin' (yeah, that's a stretch -- but seems I do a lot of it lately ...)
As I remain semi-retired from Cessna and if and when I ever get busy again doing something monetarily worthwhile, I've toyed with the idea now and then of boarding a student pilot in the cottage my wife and I have out back for a week or so to solo. We live on two acres out in the country here in central Kansas (great place for learning to fly) and the local airport (MPR) has a 150 available to rent for just $65 an hour, wet.
Barring any unusual weather, I believe I could get a typical student to solo within a week's time, between ground school sessions to prepare for the written exam. Then the student could go home to another instructor (which always is beneficial) to finish up.
This would be sort of a "learn to fly" vacation. Just wanting some input ... What would you consider to be a reasonable cost (including instruction, flight time, room and board)?
Thanks for any advice you can give!
