>>SNIP>>Can you give us some more detail? Reading the 'brochure', the training sounded like somthing I could get from my local Flight Instructor. >>>
Unless your flight instructor built and flies a Lancair I doubt you will find his knowledge on par with the gents instructing in this program. Flight instruction is like any other service related industry. The difference lies in the skill and knowledege of the individual offering the service. You get what you pay for.
SNIP>>For example, what do they teach you about weight and balance that is specific or different? I'd love to take this course, but at $600, I want to know I'm getting more than a refresher.>>
At $600 this training is a bargain. The comparable Bonanza training costs over $1000. FlightSafety's course for Bonanza's costs is higher. You could probably find a young, newly minted instructor who would sign off your BFR for nothing more than a ride in your Lancair-- but would you really be learning anything? From the responses of the individuals who attended I believe the training was top notch.
My 2 cents...
