It's insurance that is the bug in the ointment now though. Unlike some microlight insurers that will insure the pilot to fly any microlight, most GA ones will only insure the aircraft. If an "any pilot" clause is added, then fine, otherwise you'd have to be named on the insurance to fly your mates aeroplane.
I'd be interested to know what owners of more than one aircraft do? If I owned two similar aircraft I'd have to insure both, even though I can only fly one at a time ... seems rather unfair to me
Still I suppose it's the same with cars, unless you have fleet insurance ... can you get that for aeroplanes? (dreaming of that lottery win and the Spitfire, Hurricane and DH Dove parked in the hangar
).
