A PPL is valid with a class 2 medical and biannual flight test, Im looking at RAA due to the lower cost, GA is very $$$, but I might look at the new CASA PPL with rec medical LSA catorgory aircraft (under 650Kg MTOW) if I do 51% experemental amature build, I can do my own 100 hour service..still have the flying bug just want to go gowm a cheaper way..dont like the idea of hiring a Cessna 172 at $200 per hour.
