Hi - thanks very much for all your posts. As far as I can see they are all a much of a muchness so far!
The most important thing for me is to fly at a club where the instructors are patient and take time out for you to answer any questions (not that I'm a pilot from hell, it's just that cocky instructors aggravate the hell out of me). I also want good groundschool instructors for an IMC (if offered). I'm not training to be get a commercial license - it's all for fun and a hobby, so enjoyment is my top priority.
As always, although the price isn't too much of an issue, I don't really want to pay over the odds either.
(I also heard that the R/T use at Shoreham isn't that hot - anyone have any comments?)
