That's awesome!! About 8 years ago, I inquired about flying lessons and was told it would be $125.00 USD per hour, with a minimum of 40 hours, but probably closer to 60. I simply couldn't afford that... even now.

Very cool!
I learned to fly sailplanes 9 years ago, got my pilots licence but quit after two year due to lack of time (got my band started and had army service coming).

Much, much cheaper hobby than flying motorized planes, I could even afford it as a student. And more challenging because you really have to work to stay in the air. Was alot of fun!

Go all the way and get your license. You will not regret it. BTW whats the average cost in the UK?

around £100 per lesson + landing fees.

Tomahawks have issues. At least they used to.
