Thanks for the reply!

For what I`ve seen Big Red Kite seems to be the best for me, and what I want with my hour building.

As 95 % of my experience has been for a C172 from the 80s and one from the 70s and with no GPS, I then never navigate using the GPS when flying VFR, I really enjoy flying cross-country, planing the trip before with tracks and using ETO/ATO!

My ideal hour building would be a bit south in England ( Big Red Kite is an ideal spot for me) then first get to know the area, then fly cross country both to the North and France/Spain and so on..

From what I`ve seen from other places it is roughly around 120-130 £ per hour, wich won`t save me money at all, as I need accommodation.

Will it be too late to book the plane sometime in March? The best would be to get the plane in early September, fly there, then move up to Oxford in October!
