For those that helped before (regarding my medical issues) thank you.
I finally went out on my trial lesson an hour flying around the cotswolds. An awesome feeling even with the odd bumps thrown in. It was on the 3rd occasion due to the poor weather.
As recommended I spoke to a few AME and the local one was worried mostly about my weight but agreed that if the CFI okayed my ability in the plane it shouldn't affect the class 2/LAPL process. However losing the weight between now and my solo would be wisest and do the medical when I am 7-8 hours in. Which will probably be April/May if I'm lucky with the weather and bi-weekly lessons.
I've read some helpful guides, however still confused - what is mandatory from an equipment perspective, I see most shops (like pooleys) do student packages, but I'm sure there are a number of items i don't need and the bags look a little rubbish.
Advice gratefully received!
