Well claudiucho now you are beginning to see why these fora are full of people asking if they can log time in the right hand set of a Cherokee as 'P2' or if under some strange circumstance they could get their company to pay business travel costs when they fly or how they can run a raffle where the prize is surprise surprise the privelege of flying with them.

To some extent this is why the vast majority of PPLs fail to keep their licence for more than a couple of years, once the 'achievement' of getting a PPL has faded the practicalities kick in and shopping on a Saturday is easier and cheaper than flying.

My suggest if you really want to continue is get involved with a group of similarly minded people. They may be in your flying club - although that is unsual, you could try the local PFA Strut, certainly try local strips, consider joining a group - preferably one with a cheap PFA type aircraft. You may find those poeple in the local gliding or microlight clubs. The enthusiasm of these people are what makes things happen. as you are already thinking turning up and paying your money to a 'flying club' has a limited appeal.
