Thanks for all the advice.
Sorry for the late reply, my laptop died and it's just out warranty.
I have researched a flight school in Pt. Pirie where you can go in for a fortnight and come back with your recreational license (i can't remember the name of the place currently), if anyone knows of the place I'm talking about and has been there would you recconmend going/staying away from there (it'll be awhile before I go there due to money).
A question, is there any ongoing fees or "you must do x amount of hours of flight per year" to keep the rec. license?
Thank you for any help you can give me.
P.S. I remember reading Tomo's article in the RA-Aus Magazine which is how I got this website.
