I've searched and I seem to have an understanding that it can be done - I'm a new pilot and only have 10 hrs under my belt which I've done over the last 2 weeks or so.
A little background - I run my own business in transportation so my schedule is fairly flexible and plan on knocking out at least 3-5 hours a week of training for the next few months until I get my PPL. I'm in no rush, but I worked so much over the last 3 years rebuilding from covid that I decided I'm making time and getting my PPL since I've wanted to do so for some time.
I fell in love with the vintage M20's and it seems like their performance/price is pretty great compared to Cessnas.
I could happily keep renting but I'd love to own my own plane since I hate seeing money burned without building equity - just trying to figure out if it's feasible to hop over and get the complex endorsement through my regular student pilot training.
I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area where the average price for a C172 is $160-200+/hr and that will easily put me into the $10k+ range if I average 60 hours so I'd love to just put that toward something I would own and build experience with long term - instead of switching planes every training day as it has been lately.
My instructor is a cfii/meii, etc with years and years under his belt as well.
Am I crazy or would this be doable?
I have my medical already which was easy enough since I already have my CDL and take care of myself. I'm in my early 30's if that makes any difference.
