We'll heed your advice, cheers guys

P.S. As a student with 40 hours and as yet no X-Country experience, would it even be wise to take a formation course? How much would a course cost, and do I yet have the 'experience' necessary, because I realise I have more than the 'average' first soloer... if so, what would be a sensible number of hours/length of time to have been flying solo before undertaking such a course?

Also, before someone suggests I should be concentrating on gaining my PPL, the reason I ask is that in a few days I am gonna turn 16, and have an entire year to get my 'trouple' of hours circuits/ten hours of x-countries done and wondered how long a course like this would take to complete... I'm sure a time will come in the next year I'll need something else to occupy my aviating time

Many thanks,

Jack.

(apologies for my teenage over-enthusiasm! )
