Sunstate are a friendly crew, the Scotish instructor/builder is a real nice guy too. The aircraft which I saw/flew were new 172s but I think they may be a wee bit expensive for the average wannabe to consider a PPL there even if they do get approval. Nice to fly new aircraft though even though the autopilot was a tad too complicated for me! Moving colour GPS was a real treat though!
If I was looking for a JAA PPL, I think on balance that I would rather spend my money at NAC. Lots of criticism about other set ups but little if any adverse comments about NAC - says it all really!!!
