I’ve got it and it’s much better than a VA in my opinion:
– no need to fly when other people say you have to; you decide when and how often
– you can decide your own colour scheme
– lots of flexibility as regards types to fly and routes
– plus many of the things you can do on a VA as well
Just my opinion but I reckon it’s an excellent add-on.
Best of all (for me) is that you don’t get embroiled in some of those petty disputes that make some VAs (in my experience) an utter pain in the bum.
