Thanks all for the great input. I was also re-considering a wholly owned with flow-through to hopefully better my chances. I will definitely not shy away from explaining the situation and the growth i got from it.

No significant FW time. 60ish hours of instruction in C172, but no PPL and can't use it as PIC time. Might help me grease the first few landings on when i get back to flying FW, but that's probably about it. ;-)

Thanks again for the responses, this is a great community and a great resource.
