Hour building / Aircraft share

Folks,

I am looking to build up on my hours for the CPL while I am finishing off my ATPL's.

I was wondering if anyone knows a good deal in Scotland (I travel to either Cumbernauld or Perth) for an hour building package or a cheaper share in a C152 / PA38 or something similar.

If you hear something or are willing please let me know either here or PM me.

I do appreciate folk who own their own aircraft might not want to share it out for money to someone they don't know.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

Go to https://afors.com/index.php?page=bro...ageToDisplay=2

and buy a Rotax-powered light aircraft and fly the socks off it for the summer. Then sell.

Tie it down outside somewhere.

Won't give you any IFR experience etc, but will give you very cheap hours in the air!

People from here have flown all over Europe and Scandinavia in this sort of aircraft, so you can use it to get some experience of flying in other countries.

Choosing a permit-to-fly aircraft should keep the running cost down

Why waste your money when you can get someone else to pay for it? https://en.wingly.io/

Seem's a bit out of the ordinary! Doubt my AC hire insurance would cover that if something went wrong....
