Speaking for myself and probably a fair few other people, I get about 1 day a month when, if the weather is good, I can go flying. I can afford about 2 hours. The weather isn't always good. I often don't go out for a few months. I hope things get easier in the future - I have plans for a Luciole (taildragger) - but in the meanwhile it's nice to fly something that is reasonably forgiving and doesn't require hundreds of hours a year in order to remain acceptably safe.
