I did my hours at swartkops airforce base, there is a C150 aerobat for R480/hr it is in great condition and has a 150Hp engine. I've seen 900 ft/min two up and half tanks before

You need to pay R1250 to join for a year which would be an extra R25 an hour for you. R505 vs R545 for the equivelant aerie at Grand Central. There are no landing fees or passenger taxes at swartkops either. Other aircraft are a Cherokee 160 - R540 Cherokee 180 - R580 and a Arrow 180 - R770

The club is very friendly has a great atmosphere with old warbirds all around the place. We're glad to take your money and help you out at the same time,contrary to what others have said above. Good luck with your flying and give us a call when you get here
