Well I have checked out Wycombe, at least their prices, and for £141/hr I get to do a 'gentle introduction to aerobatics' in a Cessna 152 Aerobat..........not the bargain basement price I suspect some of you had in mind, but that's London/M25 prices for you - I suppose I've just become immune to them and the MEP rating helps with that as well! The alternatives are £185/hr in a CAP10 or £201/hr in a Pitts with Alan Cassidy. As I've said, because of work/home committments, all other locations are non-starters.

Although the rationale for starting in the Aerobat doesn't change, given the quality of the instructor in the Pitts, and the relative prices per hour (152's only 30% cheaper than the Pitts), isn't the Pitts beginning to look like the most attractive relative option? I realise I'm starting to talk myself into this, so please feel free to tell me otherwise!

Evo/AerBabe/Miserlou - have you experienced any stress issues with the CAP10 as mentioned by AF whilst under training?

Thanks again all.
