TM, let me add my congratulations on starting on your PPL. I hope that you are realising your ambition and doing it in a DH-82a. I had suspected from your other thread on gliding that the cost of the project might have been propelling you in the direction of getting a glider ticket first (not that that would be a bad thing as everyone I speak to who knows about both powered and soaring flight says that gliding promotes good piloting skills and airmanship). Good luck, keep us posted on your progress.
