pretty much the going rate matey give or take a few quid . Flying schools tend to be a little bit more inflated than them though . If you cant beg borrow or steal the books try ebay I got my crp1 and headset from there . Dont buy a kneeboard goto office world or staples and get and a4 clipboard and a few crocodile clips buy or printout some vfr nav plogs and bingo a kneeboard for about five quid . Just put in vfr plog on tinternet and there are plenty of sites that have them just print them out .
