Thanks for the views - all very helpful feedback. I hope to finish my PPL in a few months' time and shortly after that add a tailwheel conversion and a good bout of instruction on strip technique, and am hoping subsequently to find a home in a syndicate somewhere in East Anglia. Obviously I'll be looking for a very thorough checkout before I solo and / or go anywhere - but would have to postpone the whole concept if I need to work up to 100 hrs first!
