Thanks to all for your insight, and wisdom. I will "cool my jets" and go the trainer route first; bend the rented mule! I'm a retired electrical contractor, so I wear a belt and suspenders when it comes to safety and SOP's.
I had a lot of "stick time" in the Army; mostly rotor winged aircraft ( LOH6, OH58, etc.) but also fun in the Beaver and others.
The $ and time are not an issue, and the will to make this happen is there, so here I go!
Once again, thank all of you for your sincere and kind advice!
Dennis
