Hobby Flying

I am hoping for some feedback from the forum... "Heroes of PFA & Farmstrip Flying"

I have had to leave flying alone for a while after surgery, also I have moved to a new area. Now I'm itching to get back into it... for a long time I have fancied doing some "hobby flying" away from regulated airspace in a Permit to Fly aeroplane.

I have been searching and searching for a share in an existing group but without success so I am now seriously thinking of buying something for myself, maybe something like a Kitfox or Avid Speedwing that (I believe) I can tow behind my car. I live on a large estate in Rutland and get on well with the farmer land-owner so who knows regarding fields?

My question is whether anyone out there can offer any advice regarding my imminent entrance into becoming a "hero"... I am budgeting an initial investment of around 12k, hopefully this isn't too naieve,

Cheers R
