As a low (OK 6) hours PPL stude, who has come late to flying (mid 30's) there is no way I could afford to become an instructor both in terms of hours building to become competent, but more importantly in the drop in pay. However I love to fly, (but it is such hardwork at the moment ) I'm a good businessman with reasonable credit access - what are the economics of running a flying school - not to ATPL but just PPL / IMC standard? If I could fund two mid / late 70s C150 / C152 how would the costs stack up, any ideas on rate of returns? Serious questions here, if this is a viable business then what are the operating costs likley to be?

Any help / comments appreciated.
