I have no connection with the group, but the microlights are much better all round than the standard club spam, they go places at speed and you can afford to fly them (I think the eurostar is a marginally better aircraft). Microlighting is less beaurocratic and if you decide to go larger, then there is not much to do to cross qualify.
