I have been flying for the Air Force for 16 years now, no i am not a pilot Anyways, I want to get up in the air and go where I want to go!!!! I have looked into getting my PPL for a LONG time, but every time I really look at it the cost of not only getting the license, but the cost of renting is quite cost prohibitive. So, i looked at buying a plane, even ones with a low fuel burn that are relatively cheap, but then I started costing out the annuals that are involved, DEAL BREAKER! I am too heavy for helicopters, and the ones I am not too heavy for are very expensive (I weight 240 lbs on a good day, otherwise I am teetering at 250lbs). I would like something I can take my wife with me on too! I have for a long time been interested in Gyros. But am I barking down the wrong tree here thinking I am get myself and my wife up in the air affordably? Yeah yeah, I know, affordability is all subjective. If it is going to cost me more than $50 an hour, I am not interested.
I have seen some VERY nice Gyros that are $60K+, I am looking more at the $20K region. Like the RAF2000s, though, I am not sure if they will support myself and my wife or not. Anyways, some advice?
Thanks in advance!
