Thank you apruneuk for your feed back and everyone else. I started at Stapleford on Monday as its local to me, which obviously means no accommodation costs..and no fast food expenses.
So far so good, friendly bunch and competitive prices too. The Diamond DA-42 is a b****** to fly though, makes the IR even harder! but thought this is the way forward, no point training on old aircraft when you can have the glass cockpit..Its nice to be able to say good bye to mixtures, manifold pressure, varible props etc so it has its bonuses...anyway will keep you all updated..have a look at the cockpit below:
