Flexwing or Three Axis?
I went along to the local microlight club and was rather surprised that the guy there was giving me strong advice against flexwing vs three axis. He'd apparently had a long history with flexwing but now seemed to have seen the light. They have both types at this club.
His objections to flexwings include:
- they are hard work in anything but smooth air
- they can't easily be manipulated on the ground in windy conditions
- they can't be left outside because they'll get blown over
My desire to try flexwing stems from wanting cheap flying. If three-axis is just as cheap then is there still a case for flexwings?
