Hi Cron,

From what I know - it's all about hour building, ie. trying to get the 50 hrs in a R-22 to be able to teach under the SFAR. Therefore - this is something for CFI's/Commercial pilots straight out of flight school with no experience. Remember - you're paying them to fly!

One person i knew just called them up, paid over the phone with his credit card for 20 hours, and three days later was flying off the coast of southern florida, and followed a series of races to Rhode Island over the next fortnight. Said it was fun but he wouldn't do it again.
