New Zealand - PPL or RPL (medical related)

Hi all

I has been some years I have been to this forum hence a new account. 7yrs ago I had a heart block and now I have a pacemaker. Getting my class 2 medical I need more tests to be done and I have to go private clinic to get them done - and who knows the conditions attached I might need to do them how frequent. At the time I was just before going solo.

1. What do you think of PPL or RPL? The New Zealand RPL doesn't require a class 2 medical, just a car license medical. The only issue I see for myself is I cannot carry more than one passenger and I am not sure if I would be doing long distance flying.

2. For you guys who have a PPL how often do you fly long distances? Ie - more than 50 nautical miles.
