Hi,
Probably is a silly question but its eating away at me.
I came across some pictures today of the Ikarus C42 fixed-wing microlight and it was only when checking out the G-INFO on the CAA website that I realised it was classed as a microlight.
I imagine that the main difference between SEP a/c and Fixed Wing microlights is the engine type/power/aircraft weight?
I was quite shocked to see the Ikarus was classed a microlight. I just saw the propellar at the front and assumed it was a SEP.
I am an engine newb and dont know a great deal about SEP's and fixed wings to be honest.
heres a pic of the Ikarus C42:
