I know an engineer chap who is taking a Quicksilver over America this summer – 45,000 hours P1 and hundreds of types and he chooses to fly at 35 – 40 mph in celebration of the 100 years of aviation! A man who knows what its all about I suppose… wonder if it comes with an ice box for the Bud ..hmm..

:rolleyes:

Not me – its the Wight Party – a big microlight rally on the Isle of Wight that weekend and I have an appointment in the bar 🙂 To those going to the TP fly in – have a good time!

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..
