You will, which is a shame for you as the CT is a lovely aeroplane to fly and also requires good piloting skill.

There is a clause in the ANO permitting hiring of single seaters up to 910 kg, so you could for example hire one of the Tiger Club's Turbulents.

Or join an LAA permit aeroplane syndicate - which is not hire and there are a lot of really nice little aeroplanes that way. Just make sure that the rest of the syndicate are happy with your plans, as generally you join a syndicate for the long term, not short term hour building.

Or even buy one of the cheaper LAA aeroplanes outright - you'll learn lots, save money compared to renting, and at the end will also still own an aeroplane!
