If it's all about money as in you want value for bucks then the country strips are the go. (CW learnt at EN but had his own plane way back then)Kyneton my local aero club (yes Capt wally is a member of a SE plane club....ohhhh ahhhhh shock horror
) charges $220 p/hr dual in a C172, like the other country strips straight into training after T/Off, no tracking to another training area & an older instructor who is just that, an instructor, not a 'transient'.
YLIL looks flash from the air, haven't been out there in yonks!
