I'm looking to undertake flex wing training. Can any one recommend a training school near Ipswich, Suffolk please?

I started fixed wing training about 15 years ago but had to stop for financial reasons, I got to about 20 hours and had been solo. I am now in a better position to complete training.

As a recent reconversion to the joys of flexwing flying, I'm sure you'll have a whole lot of fun.

I don't know any of the schools in that neck of the woods, but the BMAA website has a directory and in my experience whilst some can be a bit laid back in the housekeeping pilot, I've never yet seen a microlight school less than completely enthusiastic and competent where the flying training was concerned. So, picking whichever is nearest is probably a good bet.

Thank you G for your reply and advice.

I've just been looking on the BMAA site and found that Northrepps (Cromer) and Airplay (Sutton Meadows) seem to be closest, still 2hrs away though.

I will contact them for a visit and chat.
