Anyway, there are instructors that will come to you if you pay expenses. You may find it cheaper to go to them!

No matter what, congratulations on owning a true classic!!!

Thanks. Yes, very low multi & complex time, no instrument rating. Fresh multi rating in fact and zero Skymaster time. I'm close to being ready for my instrument rating and was hoping to use this time to finish it up.

OK, knowing that you're low time, that offer seems reasonable. Your rate should decrease as your time increases.

Congrats on your purchase can you tell us what insurance co quoted you on the plane.

FWIW - I did the RTC simulator/FTD initial course for the C337, and when I was getting insurance quotes, no company was willing to give credit for it. I ended up going with Avemco, as they had the lowest rates; they required only 15 hrs dual. Fresh multi and only 4 hours on type.

I think you may want to shop around a little more on insurance.

There is a 337 experienced instructor in Sallisaw OK. It is a little ways from you, but he really likes the 337. I went down there from Iowa to get all my training. I bought a 337 and had it delivered to him and then took my training in my plane down there. I needed about the same flight requirements as you noted but I did NOT have a ME rating. Went from a 1100 hours in a 172 to a 337 and loved every minute of it. Even took my check ride in my plane. Check out this posting for more info:
