Selling up to continue to fund my PPL!

Hi Chaps,

Well having to abort my training for the time being due to the increase in the cost of the lessons because of the rise in the fuel costs (and the general cost of living etc) i've decided to sell my pride and joy, a Lotus Exige Series 1 and starting next year go for it in earnest!

In the meantime i've been reading a lot of books and watching various DVDs produced by Robinson but realise that there is no substitute for the real thing!

I was just wondering if the cost of the lessons are likely to come down or are they now likely to stick at around the £300 per hour mark and has the increased fuel charges put Helicopter Schools around the world on a knife edge as to whether they are likely to continue operate as a going concern?

J.
