I have been wanting a plane of my own for over three years, but I truly did not know where or how to begin looking. My experience as a charter pilot did not teach me all of the tricks or help me avoid the pitfalls of buying a used airplane. This DVD tells it all and the companion ebook spells it out in an easy-to-read format that is both interesting and informative. Well done!
Billy Walker Aircraft Dealer
In a word this guidance is EXCELLENT! The style and graphics make the book an easy read and the DVD is even more remarkable. Very professional.
I have bought and sold some 250+ used aircraft in my career and having this DVD and eBook years ago would have been an invaluable asset. I would have made them available to my prospective buyers as a customer service to them.

I sure wish I would have seen this DVD before I bought my last two airplanes. I could have saved a huge amount of time and avoided the insurance "sticker shock." An excellent resource and reference!

This DVD / eBook combination is an excellent resource for every plane owner and every pilot.
