Thats the plan! I figure i'll join police for a few years, maybe step up to pilot for the Police Chopper, and then move on to commercial air travel, or Cargo.

Do you know long it would take to get the money for a 51 with jobs such as police officers?

I want to buy that little model. I need a link hang on.




Edit: http://www.titanaircraft.com/t-51.php This is it, and affordable in a sense, I mean when I get a high end job like flying cargo.

Or you could buy a Cessna 172 for the same price with a glass cockpit, and carry 4 people. About the same speed too.......

Hmm, I guess that would be better, I can't build worth a crap anymore. I just don't have those skills thrust upon me unfortunately. I like the twin engine concept though, could you give me a Suggestion? :headscratch:

EDIT: By the way the 172 is a awesome looking aircraft. Sorry I didn't want you to think I ignored it. I'm actually looking at the Wiki on it.

Very sexy airplanes. Heck, for 90k you could get a nice 182, or even a 210.

Im just biased towards 172s
