I have used American Flyers for a few renewals. You pay once up front
and from
then on there is just a $40 processing fee for the paperwork.

Because there is a 16 hr requirement for the training program to be
approved
by the FAA, you do have to spend 16 hrs reading their course work.
The
course
is divided into smaller sections and each one has a minimum time of
reading,
then it lets you take the test on that section. You can not get to
the
later
sections until complete each section.


I have used American Flyers for all of my CFIG renewals. It is the
biggest
bargain out there. Yes, their course is not targeted for us, so it
covers
some
things that are not 100% necessary for soaring, but it is difficult to
argue
that a wider knowledge base is a bad thing, right?

The 16 hour thing is set by the FAA, but (hint) your computer allows
you
to
"multitask".
