I have done a great proportion of my PPL but funds do not allow me to continue... The exams aren't too bad but will keep you busy :y :y :y

I've also done a lot of gliding, which I agree with Kevin in the fact that it is a more skilful method of flight in some respects!!

Just out of interest Kevin... Is that similar to a Viking?

Whatever it is... I didn't do it

Mine's an LS4 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolladen-Schneider_LS4

A viking's basically a Grob 103 Twin Acro IIRC? Is so, it's obviously a lot lighter being a single seater so it's a bit more nimble on the controls. Other than that it's pretty similar. Slightly flatter glide (40:1 versus 36:1) and it has a retractable wheel and water ballast.
