Hi Gaylon I"m sure you'll get many more replies to your post, but firstly welcome to the club, it's the coolest! Secondly, I'm sure you're aware of the fact that it's not the CFI you need to convince but your Examiner. I stayed away from getting a coupe before I got my PP-ASEL for precisely that reason - the Designated Flight Examiner up here at VNY (I'm in the San Fernando Valley, CA) wouldn't test me in a 2-axis plane, since the license he was giving would be good for all ASELs, not just the coupe. Also, he mentioned something about the "added versatility of the coupe landing gear" giving a colored experience to a beginner - i.e. learn to land a Cessna or a Piper properly, the coupe will be like putting training wheels back on a bike. However, for the hours, especially the x-country solos and that, I'm sure you'll be just fine. JM2C, YMMV, etc. HTH Cheers Chris Gaylon Fuller wrote: > > ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- > > Hi Group, > > I'm Gaylon Fuller.
