DastardlyMutley - nice one
Phil is a bloody good instructor (AFI) and you can rest assure you've got yourself a solid PPL there! I actually really enjoyed writing about my flying. I found myself updating this thread as soon as possible, not only as it was fresh in my mind, but I knew there were other people learning too, and it was really great to share everything.
Michael - you are correct, a permit type is considerably cheaper (and arguably more fun etc) but it's just not for me at this point. I think you'd be surprised at just how far you can go dangling from the end of a duvet cover also - in fact, I'll bet I fly further paramotoring, than I ever fixed wing. This is probably entirely because of the cost, and maybe a little bit to do with the increased flexibility/freedom...
Hannah - put it this way, I already had my own cover on order for my PPL, and it didn't last long in it's "attractive" CAA issue wallet!
Sue - you'll have to visit the club one day
Cheers
Lee
