Taxying in at the delightful Wellesbourne Mountford the other day, we were instructed to 'park next to the microlight'. We searched in vain for the expected device, assuming that it was the usual type of microlight which looks like the product of an illicit affaire between a tent and a strimmer...
The FISO then said "Between the bollards on your right" - and we saw a very gucci little low wing aeroplane into which 2 people were strapping themselves in! One of the latest technology types, I think it was a Eurostar?
Those of us who fly 30 year old Spamcans fitted with combine harvester engines of the 1950s would do well to look at the new breeds of microlight, such as these. Although you do need to look carefully at the available load....
Why not contact the BMAA for advice? Several of their members are of less than racing snake dimensions, so they might be able to suggest a suitable aircraft for you?
