Looking for some advice. So, I'm a prospective pilot and would like to build from a kit. As for getting my PPC, the next step is visiting an AME and start taking flight training. As for starting my build, the next step is filling out the order form.
I'm lucky enough to live near Torrance CA. So the place I'm going to get my kit from, avionics and flight instruction are all one and the same. TAF for the sling 4 quick build kit, MGL for the avionics and Sling flying club for the instruction.
Problem is, what to do first??? Do I get my cert first and rent while I build or build first and get trained in my own plane when it's all finished?
While I'm not in any particular hurry, I would like to fly sooner rather than later. But... GA isn't the cheapest thing I can do with my time, so I expect to shell out some money, but building first would save on rental costs in the long run.
It's a conundrum, any insight would be helpful.
