Also chaps while we are on the subject of NZ flying, anybody have a comment on kapiti areoclub? I have flown with them a few times now, and they haven't been very helpful. I turned up to finish my Archer rating only to find that the only bloke who had a rating was not there (even though he had been rostered on especially for my lesson) I checked out the Archer, man it was tatty (ZK DFL) wouldn't let me switch on the master and check a few things. I then flew a 152 with one of the chaps (nice enough, pulled me up on a few points which is good) to get a feel for the circuits (wasn't going to waste the trip) and the hold points, vrp's etc.
Just have not got a good feel from them, they just don't seem interested? they are My local and i'm looking to join but just wondered if any of you have any comments
