Hi Chris, as discussed a while back, having an NPL (CCM) limits your options on what you are allowed to fly. Your best bet now would to spend a few bucks and do the NPL (LSA) license. This will "open up" your world of potential planes to fly.

Please note : There is nothing wrong with a Bantam. Problem is if you cannot "source" one, you are not going to fly at all.

How many hours do you need to do for LSA Chris ? Do you need to write some of the exams again ?
