If buying an airplane is to save money on training, forget it,
unless you're buying something that's been very well cared for or is
relatively new. Sometimes one of our students will decide to do just
that, and will find out the hard way (after we've warned them) that
airworthiness issures are very likely to crop up when we inspect the
airplane before any of our instructors fly in it. It doesn't take much
to mean thousands of dollars in repairs before it goes anywhere.
