Been out for a few days. Just read your replies, thank you! Your advice has been GREATLY appreciated and used. I think I have made my decision, and I have the wisdom of you folks to back it up. I agree with you cub and bearded that a better way is to keep flying a hobby. Plus, nothing says I can't instruct on the weekends with a 9-to-5er and still be associated with the industry. Thanks again guys!!!
