(burns 6 gal an hour) Transponder inspection =$250 Medical = $90 I don't see a Cessna being a recreational plane anymore. Sport pilot is the way to go for a weekend flier such as myself.

And ,on an Ultralight you can be the Mechanic,No Problem....try working on your own Full scale on the airport ramp and see who turns you in to the FAA first;the FBO-one of your flying buddies,or the airport A&E Mechanic..........

are there any ultralight clubs or a place in southern california for getting lessons? i started getting lessons for a private pilots license last year, but stopped after about 8 hrs b/c it ended up costing too much and was more involved than what want at this point in my life. so now, i'm thinking ultralights might be the way to go.

i still want my private pilots license at some point down the road, but just not now.
