But that's not the point.
Sorry for being dense, but what is your point then? What is it exactly you want to know?

I have no axe to grind with this aircraft, but there's a plethora of microlight around which can do exactly the same as in the text above.

And the manufacturer probably knows this, hence some of the rather inconsistent statements in the text. One of these is the comparison with the Skycatcher, which is a US-LSA (and not available in Europe) and not a (German) microlight.

€20/hour is approx. what you pay only for fuel per hour in a Rotax 912 powered microlight in Europe. I rent a comparable (and tested and tried) Tecnam P92 and pay €100/hour, including fuel....

Speaking of Tecnam P92's, you can get one from around €58,000 (excl. VAT).

Seems like someone is trying to reinvent the hot water....
