I did my hour-building for my CPL with Cloud 9 earlier this year. I have no professional or personal links to them whatsoever. As I have said on an earlier thread, I found the operation honest and well run. Geoff employs good people and knows his stuff. Actually I got a good deal out of him financially for burning 60 hours. I'm doing my hour-building for my FI with Boatpix -- which is even cheaper!
