Check out the P96 Golf

These are classified as ultra light, so the license requirement isnt as strict ! I used to Fly back in the 70's but never got past ground school ! The P96 Golf is a really neat machine around 70k Canadian apx 45k Us so it is affordable . But as I mentioned the best thing is the regs for a license arent as strict. So this will be my next project.
