thanks for more input guys
i would def consider cumbernauld or glasgow i went to cumbernauld today exactly one hour from my house and seemed good also it may work out cheaper going there, my plan of doing 4 hours a week would cost me 20 quid in fuel per week and going 13 times is £260 in fuel over a 52hour course (which may be over or under what i need to get ppl) so maybe a good saving could be had going to either.
i live and work in kilwining so prestwick is close it may work out better will need to wait and see
as for keeping my mind of cpl i see what you mean though i always aim high, and if i aim for that and end up with a ppl i will still be happy
3 axis i have considered and tbh i am still considering it but got a little scared with the old flexwing in the weather so not sure its for me
