Depends on the school I think and whether they want your trike on their books as a trainer.

Does the school train with the same trike as yours? If so I suggest to train on theres untill you solo, thereafter continue on your own.

How far along are you on your training? Your situation might be different but dont knock training on school aeries too quickly, it normally gives you a chance to try diff planes and if you have a bumpy landing or 2 it's not your plane that takes the hit.

I bought my plane halfway through my training and i'll fly her now for the last couple of hours I need. No hassles with fitting training bars etc.

Good luck with the training!

thanks for the reply's gent ,
after having a long Conversation with some fellow aviators , ..............the decision was made to find a flight school ASAP
so hope fully by the end of the month this will have been established :) ............finding a GOOD one that's not booked weeks in advanced is apparently not as easy as i thought

i intended to do the same but, how's the saying "as jy nie wil luister nie moet jy maar voel!" :)

i'm still fixing up the trike that i bought (due to time constraints - can only work on Sat's) and should rather have just finished my license

some schools are not willing to put your trike in the school i have learned
