Puntosaurus,
Thanks for the advice. I do have some savings and with 3yrs of savings would be able to buy my first aircraft and pay all the costs (hangarage, maintenance, landing fees and unit rent) in one go and still have some left.
Thats why i want to leave it 3 years to give myself the best possible chance of success.
As long as i go all guns blazing sales wise and have everything paid for year 1 i should be able to do it by my reckoning.
Matt
