Cherokee or Tecnam?
I have some previous flying training on the Firefly (40 hours) I have been out of flying for a while for various reasons, and have now relocated to a new area and I am looking at finishing my training and gaining a PPL. I have looked into several local flying schools which operate different aircraft and I was wondering if someone could offer some advice as to which aircraft they think would be best to go with?
I could go with the Tecnam P2002JF, which looks nice, this is £175ph + £5 per circuit, or at a different airfield the Piper Cherokee, which is £155ph with no additional fees, but there is a membership fee of £150pa.
I like the look of the Tecnam, it seems similar to the Firefly with a stick and nice visibility. Do you think it would be better to pay the extra initially and go with the Cherokee, or go with the Tecnam which would be cheaper initially but potentially more expensive in the long run, but more similar to what I am, used to?
