Multi Engine Time Building...
Hello Folks,
I'm in desperate need of multi-engine time...where would you recommend I go to build this valuable time? Also, if you know of someone willing to split costs to build ME time located in SoCal, please let me know.
Thanks!

Find a cargo outfit that with some kind of twin. Make friends with the PIC and beg to sit right seat. Log the time you actually fly (If you win the PICs trust, you will fly most of the time). This setup is more legit if the PIC is a multi-instructor or if you are a MEI.
Some will have a problem with the legality of the situation. Let them worry about themselves. As long as you are genuinely learning and gaining experience I think you can log it.
Good luck

Logging of flight time
You can log whatever you wish so long as you do not intend to use it towards currency or a rating if it isn't approved as such.
I would buy a timed out old piper Apache. Slap an "EXPRIMENTIAL" sticker on the side and burn ARCO's best till it blows up. Then sell the parts on EBay for a profit and on you go.

I am not saying what I did was smart or that I would do I again. I would not fly so much and would get more rest. But, the multi time I got helped me get my first commuter job and then it was off to the races. I know plenty of guys that wrote in their flight time and are majors today. I did not want to go that route.
