Hi evil j, I do wish people would add there names, anyway I am in a similar position to you but I am not a ppl but have been going flying with a buddy for some time now but just being a passenger is not enough for me I want to get a ppl but group A is just to expensive and I could never afford my own group A aircraft, so I started taking flex wing lessons a few months back really love it finding it much more fun than the PA 28, sorry up to know the wind has been light most times apart from yesterday about 12knts and we had no probs in the blade, anyway just in case you dont know about it the BMAA have a forum just for microlights at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/microlights/ if you dont get your answers here give that a try you will get many answers I would think.
Nick.
