Not interested in gliding.
Also don't want to pay £150 p/h to fly a 90 year old Cessna.
Want to fly an aircraft with a stick, not control column (e.g. Diamond).
Thanks.
Carlisle Flight Training have two Robin HR200s which fly with a stick. I have spent time training with them, and the various iterations of Newcastle Airport's clubs and schools. You'll struggle to find much else, there is a very definite North/South divide when it comes to aircraft availability and choice in the UK. I'm happy to go into the pros and cons of both Newcastle and Carlisle for PPL training if you are interested?
