I just read your second post, but left my last one because maybe it can help someone else. Just go do it, it really is one of those things that is hard to explain everything about, but make sure you feel good about the plane, they will always be POS, but you should still feel the engine and airframe are solid. Its really fun flying, but super dangerous if you do not know what to watch for, so listen closely when your being briefed by the fulltime pilot. That website listed is also really awesome. Let me know if you have any questions.
