Im planning on taking a two week instrument course in July and need to get the written as well as some basic ground school done. Should I buy the Sporty's or the King's kit?

I used the Cessna kit myself nad Martha bored me to death, but it got the job done.
 
Okay, I really haven't used either one, so don't take what I say too seriously, but...isn't it a little weird how in the King brochures and ads, they use the same picture of the guy pointing and smiling, but use photoshop to change the color of his shirts?

He's got the exact same pose, hand position, phony smile, and if you are bored and start looking hard you can tell they've chopped the photo.

Maybe it means nothing, but it just seems cheezy to me. But like I said, I haven't used it, and it could still be great, even if it is cheezy.

Where do you work.......or do I want to know?:confused:

The computer operations center of a Fortune100 company. You probably buy your groceries from us.
 
HEB, Albertsons, or Wal Mart?

I don't know which one is a fortune 100 company. But maybe you shouldn't say, I can't imagine them being happy with you lurking around JC while on the clock.lol:)

Actually, in two more days we will own Albertson's......sssshh.....

You have to love automation. Everything runs so smooth that I have time to check out the net here and there. If something happens, various alarms will alert the operators.

Kind of like sitting in cruise flight with the A/P on....

Myself personally never bought the kits..always used the Red Gleim books for the writtens, and the FAA books, with others thrown in to help, for the knowledge.

I'm up cuz I'm waiting for you to respond to my PM. :sarcasm:

Really though, I can't tell ya. Been up all day, studying, loungin', flew a bit and got my ass knowcked all over the place, and just not tired for some reason. Sucks cuz I have to be up for work in the morning still though. :(

Yeah, I was waiting until I had some time to respond to the PM. As far as the rest, it'll be great...while you're having trouble getting up for work, I'll be starting my last leg of the night. When you are at work, I'll be getting back to the hotel, for some R&R time at the pool, hopefully with a beer in hand, and then sleep all day!!!;)
 
Are you just trying to make me hate you?

BTW, you only sent back to me a quote of what I wrote and I got nothing that you replied.
