Get involved in the LAA/strip side of flying.
Learn to maintain your own machine (very easy)
Referb your own machine (bit harder)
Build your own (bet harder again)
Flying an aircraft you look after changes the experience for the better and can save you money is that is an issue.
Try different LAA / BMAA types. The variation is much greater than in the C of A world and the variation in performance and handling means you take you’re lying less for granted.
Lastly, strip flying can be quite social which can add to motivation and strip flyins can be great fun particularly if the strip is in the far north of Scotland etc.
