Whatever the case as far as formalities and logbook entries for the purpose onworking on a rating, I would consider stick time in an Air Camper to be both valuableand pleasurable to anyone who is learning to fly or looking to improvetheir stick and rudder skills. The fact that flight time in a Piet is very,very inexpensive makes it all the more fun. When I flip on the master switchon a $120/hr certified rental airplane, every minute that the gyros are whirringI can feel two bucks leaving my pocket. Those same two bucks can buy me enoughavgas to fly a touch-and-go in the Piet. I can go out and put 2.0 hr inthe logbook in the Piet and burn less than $40 on gas and oil for a very niceafternoon flight but I will burn that in rental cost just with ground operationsin the certified rental aircraft.
