You got to go a long way to beat the fleet of modern day microlight aircraft. You can get a flexwing that will do over 100mph or one that will bimble along at 50mph. You can spend over £40 grand or you can spend £2 grand and with both end up with a brilliant and safe flying machine.
Training is sound. The machines are sound. The people and parties are happening.
These machine are as safe as the pilot and as with any aviation activity – danger is natures way of ridding the gean pool of idiots.
Training will cost from around £65 an hour and you can be solo in as little as 15 hours. Choose your school and instructor wisely – you will find good ones and better ones..
