I'll second Algoa.

It's a not-for-profit organisation, so all the money is put back into the club and a/c. Word on the street says that one of the C172's is due for a re-furb with some Garmin Glass in the near future.

They have also been around for over 50 years, so certainly are not some fly-by-night training organisation that will take your money and be gone in a few months.

You could always as mkenya said, do everything with them up to CPL/SE/IR, and just do the twin rating elsewhere, or at least ask if they can price match.

They do have some fairly new instructors, but also a wealth of experienced instructors too.

I cannot fault them in any way, and it is great to be part of a club with a wealth of history behind it rather than just being some pilot training factory.
