I was there about 2 years ago. Herb is one of the best instructors I have ever flown with, and I've been flying for a while. You might furrow your brow a little when you see you'll be staying at an annex of his house and flying out of his garage (he lives right on Stearman Field), but it's a very good program. I had some reservations about these courses taught in light twins because I had no experience in them, and hand't flown GA since college. He knew what was working for me and what wasn't almost right away, prepped me for the oral eval verbatim, and his DPE was a great guy as well. Be ready to spend more than a day & a half there like some other places, but you'll pass the practical with ease.
