I might not have purchased the learn to fly dvds if I had not got this. I am ordering the kit $250 asap and it is a great way to preview the dvds. $250 seamed like a lot until I watched it now it seams like a bargain! Way better than what the flight school has and they charge way more and you can do it from home. The quizes in the dvd are awesome and you can watch them as many times as you want

General Comments
I would recommend this starter kit to ANYONE even considering taking lessons. This kit definatly gave me the bug to pursue with what I have wanted to do. This kit Sporty's put together is top-notch and Sporty's is a top-notch pilot shop because of the way they support the student pilot, I will always be a loyal customer.
Our 10 year old son has a love for flying and just went up in his first airplane ride yesterday. It was a dream come true and he wrote his hours in his free log book. He was thrilled to get this free package... he has the poster next to his bed so he can pretend he's sleeping in the cockpit. Thanks SPORTY'S!

Learn to Fly Kit
Pros
Great idea, I gave it to a fellow I met at Starbucks who was interested in learning to fly.
Cons
I'm not sure why but I would have preferred to see a poster of a conventional steam gage panel instead of the glass panel. Perhaps that should be an option.
