Re: The moment I've been waiting for...
RC:Itsme:Friend lived in the US. He did the training in the US. I don't know if he uses a US license or if it is a international license (missing knowhow). He once told me to spend my summer holiday in the US, do the training and receive a license because that is much cheaper than to do all the training here. (Didn't do the 9/11 killers it that way?)
He is paying a 2-digit amount per hour
US license is around 6000 USD...I think. Not sure however how many flight hours your friend needed and how many landings are a mandatory requirement for the US license or whatever license he got.
I cannot afford (time-wise) to spend my time in the US, making my pilot's license.
2-digit amount per flight hour? Are you sure he isn't lying to you?!
Yes (high 2-digit amount). And all of the members of the club have to do some maintenace work (I don't know how many hours/days per year)
