Congrats pal, i've been watching your videos for 2 weeks now and i can say it has made me sp interested in doing flying lessons, so i've booked my first trial lesson for June so excited. Thank you for the videos really helped.

[@SpectrumGeeks]

Excellent, you will love it. Let me know how you get on.

How did the flight go? Started my PPL journey this month!

[@nigelledeux6869]

Congratulations on your purchase Dale!!. A very interesting and informative video. Looking forward to more flying videos and the use of the mounts.

[@SpectrumGeeks]

Thanks 👍

[@gregcox5496]

Looks amazing, love the colour. I'm setting my sights on trying to pass this summer and then would like to eventually get a share in a plane also at some point, maybe next year. Look forward to more flying videos!

[@SpectrumGeeks]

Wish you all the best with the flight training, its a great thing to achieve and be able to do.

I am down the same route too !! Looked at eurofox and very much interested in one but not much comes up on the second hand market, when they do, either too much money or snapped up quick !! 172 is my next choice and to park it out on the grass is 170 pounds a month , then all the other bills . Of course the more members the smaller the slice per person but with that comes the availability squeeze !! Currently just hiring from eghh until something comes up. Have fun and safe flying. AJ

[@SpectrumGeeks]

Thanks and good luck with whatever route you go down.

Congratulations Dale

[@SpectrumGeeks]

Thanks :)

[@kevinhughes9801]

Great insight useful to hear numbers never new always rented myself

[@SpectrumGeeks]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sme8499]

I’m incredibly jealous, hoping to get around to sorting my PPL very soon!

[@SpectrumGeeks]

Getting my PPL is one of the best things I have done.

Great video Dale

[@SpectrumGeeks]

Thanks for watching Emma 👍

[@ridenfly8888]

Congrats Dale. Fantastic channel. Would it be possible to chat privately re future reviews/videos? Many thanks. Justin.

[@SpectrumGeeks]

Thanks for watching and commenting. You can chat / interact via the Discord channel (info in each video description).

[@ashubhokare]

Congratulations Dale! Great video and nice information! Have you thought of doing an IR(R) ?

[@SpectrumGeeks]

Eventually. I want to look at IR(R) and night rating, but for now I am just focusing on building hours and getting more flight experience (and the funds to do more training).

[@fpt9694]

Congratulations! How are you finding the availability with it? 1/14th shares seems like it might be an issue.

[@SpectrumGeeks]

No issues at all, any time I have wanted to book I have been able to, its work and weather that gets in my way.

[@80amnesia]

Sooo cool ✌️✨✨

[@SpectrumGeeks]

Yup :)

[@Anjam_Malik]

I’m sure I’ve seen this aircraft at Coventry Airport

[@SpectrumGeeks]

Perhaps one of the other owners has flown in to visit before.

[@80amnesia]

I was thinking of renting one, but I'm not sure if this is good idea

[@SpectrumGeeks]

Renting makes sense if you don't need as much flexibility, and if you will not rent alot each month. My main reason for looking to buy as share was the flying school I rented from, was closed on the days I was mostly available to go flying.

[@PilotLyons]

Absolutely beautiful aircraft, wish i was in the position to buy into it. The interview sounds a bit off putting to me

[@SpectrumGeeks]

The interview was fine, and I get it, you need to get a feel for someone you are sharing a big investment with.
