look around cam, for instance down here in houston, you can spend upwards of 5-7 grand or if you shop around you can find some pretty good deals. for instance two summers ago i found an airline pilot with a piper tomahawk for 45/hr wet (i.e. fuel included) and he charged 20/hr for instruction. most pilots take an average of 60 hrs to complete their training but albeit the faa req's only 40. in a nut shell if you shop around and find a deal, you could spend under 4 grand total, and you pay as you go so it doesn't hurt so bad!
