Anyone know of a cheap place in Florida for hour building?

I am planning a trip to FLorida for hour building, can anybody recommend me a cheap place or any good deals that a flight school may have? C152, C172, PA28 and any twin.

Thanks for the help

Hi, Just picked up this thread. I am trying to decide whether to gain my PPL in the UK or Florida. Does anyone have any advice?

Cost wise i think given the living expenses and the time u spend here it might be similar to get the training done in UK.

But if you plan to get a PPL in usa, the cost would be approximately 10k plus living, books, supplies etc. Can cost upto 15k if you got to a part 61 school.

What is the main factor that would help you decide ? If it is cost I think it would be cheaper in US.
