Thanks for that useful advice. Yes, I’ve done some research. Until a couple of weeks ago I thought of a microlight as a kite with a fan on it. Now the development of machines such as the Eurostar and the C42 means, for fair weather folk like me, a method of learning to fly at a much reduced rate. Also the syndicate system looks really appealing.
I’m getting used to turbulence now in my glider lessons ;-)
