PPL Ground School equip.
Hi guys. I am due to do my solo for my 16th birthday next July- and I was wondering what ground school stuff I will need. The stuff I currently have:
C152 checklist
CAP413
Trev. Thom book 1
Half mil VFR chart
Logbook
Anyone know what else?

I have a CRP-1 flight computer that I don't use now (I'm going commercial and have CRP-5) They sell at Pooleys for £37 these days but I'd be happy with a tenner if you want mine - it is in pretty good shape.
Having said that, if you are planning on taking this further then you may wish to start with the CRP-5 yourself!

You will also need to be in possession of a shiney new Medical Certificate available from your friendly Aviation Medical examiner at a cost of anything between £100 and £200. Or failing that if you are going for a NPPL then get your GP to sign a form for free (if you are lucky, as I was!)
Thom book 2 (Air Law) is also necessary together with a copy of the PPL Confuser..........and then there is book 3.......etc..
Maybe a visit to your friendly bank manager should be the first thing so that you have the dosh to pay for this habit.
I was once told "aviation is like a coke habit only you meet nicer people"

You'll also need some epuallettes and a pair of embroidered wings for afterwards 
Don't forget that by next July your half mil chart will be out of date. You may also prefer to use marker pens rather than chinagraph pencils, all down to personal choice!
