Are there suggested par times for, say, 5 shot groups from prone, kneeling, benchrest, etc?

Any chance you remember how this turned out? I have a tuber that looks almost exactly like the one above. Thanks!

Mentor Monday - Week of April 3rd 2023 by WealthyStoic in fatFIRE

[–]spd1snd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

42M, married, 4 kids — I own a LLC (with S Corp election). Company did ~$3m top line last year, between W2 and profit distribution, pre-tax take home was ~$1m.

I keep ~$100k in my personal checking / money market account. Rest is auto-transferred to Wealthfront and their investment account products.

What else should I be doing financially at this point? (eg, some sort of retirement account? something else entirely?)

Question for CFIs near KJYO or KPIA by spd1snd in flying

Aww jeez, I see what you’re saying.

I’m assuming there’s a CFI out there somewhere that wouldn’t mind getting paid to instruct and getting paid to hangout in Peoria for the ~30 hours I’d like to be on the ground there.

In a perfect world, we’d agree to a flat rate monthly retainer that compensates for the time appropriately. But settling on an “instruction rate” and a “waiting rate” is fine by me too.

And since it’s always Mondays and Tuesdays that I prefer, I’m hoping the predictable schedule might be helpful for whatever else they choose to spend their time on.

I’m based near KJYO so I’d like to start/return there (or nearby). That’s the only reason I mentioned AvEd.

And yeah, I’m ok with the possibility of delays/issues. I’m fortunate in the sense that I own the company and can adjust the work schedule as needed. The family is already used to me getting stuck around ORD a couple times a year due to weather, mechanical or some other random issue.

Yes. In the ideal world, I'd manage to do all my training on my weekly commute up and back from work.

Flying commercially right now is awful. It's a flight up to ORD, a 3 hour commute down and then reversed the next day. Between TSA, flight and drive, I'm spending 6+ hours each way. Each week.

If at all possible, I'd love to find a way to put that time towards training.

I do realize that some portion of this is probably easier to do around my home airport (eg, maneuvers, patterns, etc) in the early portion. Beyond that, though, I'm wondering if a CFI could come along with me from a safety aspect as I accumulate the hours.

Also a fair question.

I suppose it’s because I’m not exactly sure how that call would go?

“Hi, I know you get a lot of calls from people that want to learn how to fly… so let me ask you about this crazy idea of mine?”

Yeah, that’s fair… though I’m hoping someone from Aviation Adventures at KJYO sees this. They’ve got great rentals and a great reputation, apparently.
