Private Flying in New Zealand?

Hi All ..

When I started my PPL my aim was to fly around in the UK with the occasional trip to France.

It seems that there is a big possibility of me ending up in New Zealand (windy Wellington) within the next year or so and I was wondering what the "flying scene" was like in NZ?

If anyone could point me into the direction of a good internet link or a previous PPRuNe thread where this was discussed then that would be much appreciated.

I am curious about things such as: most common types of light aeroplanes flown in NZ, cost of flying, hangarage, landing fees, training, aircraft availability etc.

I'm not expecting exact answers and it might be that the whole setup is very similar regardless of where you are.

Just wanted to get an idea of what to expect / Thoughts from those currently flying privately (for pleasure) in NZ.

Cheers
