Flight instruction near Philadelphia

Does anyone where I can get flight instruction in the Philadelphia area? I called Brantly and they suggested I ask here. I'm a fixed wing pilot, SSEL (IFR). I own a Citabria that I base at Wings field.

Any ideas on what I can expect to pay for dual? I found an outfit in New Jersey using Schweizer 300's. They charge around 250/hour for dual.

thanks
Dave

They're getting $250.00 to $255.00 per hour here in the Dallas, Texas area for a Hughes 300. Kind of pricey

Would you guys pay $100.00 per hour for dual instruction, in a Brantly, with a good, current Brantly CFI, Iffff.....

You were required to sign a Hold Harmless Waiver stating that...

"I understand that neither this Helicopter nor the CFI has INSURANCE. I further understand that the ship probably is poorly maintained, and the CFI's proficiency probably fails to meet the FAA's minimum standards, and his instructing skills may be poor. I fully understand this and still choose to fly. I agree to hold harmless, the pilot, the mechanic, and any other party who may be exposed in this situation."
???

Am I crazy for even thinking of teaching in my helicopter under these conditions?

Thanks,
Sorry Instructor I
