Fly cheaply? That ship sailed long ago?  Because hourly training costs for Aircraft and Instructor are generally in excess of $300 per hour.

Reason? Flying Schools want to use expensive aircraft with glass cockpits etc. 

An older Foxbat with 6 pack instrumentation won’t cut it anymore? 
Besides RAAus want to be the new GA, an oft used statement?  They have forgotten WHERE they came from? 

Bruce at Fly Illawarra (YSHL) charges $280 an hour dual for an Evektor Harmony with a Dynon EFIS, ADS-B in/out, autopilot and 912is. This is wet with YSHL landing fees included.
