Thanks tellboy, good answers mate. I'm not fussed about the hours I did in the old chippie counting towards my PPL, at least they have taught me the very basics of the controls. I was a bit worried the red/green thing would be a problem but it sounds like it won't be! Do you think it will affect my ability to get IFR rating? I mean, I can see the difference between a green LED and a red LED on a car dashboard at night, it's just those bloody books of red dots and green dots that I struggle with!!
There's a private airfield near me from which microlights and other small fixed-wing aircraft operate, don't think there is a resident instructor though so I'd be doing it at Aberdeen airport.
Like I said earlier, I probably won't be able to afford it until at least next year.
Tellboy, have you got your own aircraft? Anyone got ideas of rough operating/maintenance costs for a light high-wing job, with fixed undercart?
