I went up several times in a friends 3 axis micro in the 80's and really enjoyed it.
(He also learned to fly helicopters and frightened me a bit as he was not too hot at it.)
Talking to a friend who is a professional commercial pilot and and does aeros in his Pitts,he will not go near microlights,but interestingly also said he would be worried about vertigo in a balloon.
I would love to try a balloon flight at low level,but reckon I might be a bit vertiginous at anything above 100'
