Genghis.
Thanks again for a mine of useful information. Yes, I am looking at the cheap and cheerful end of the market for a number of reasons, not least in that I'd like to promote affordable flying in my area which doesn't have the affluence of the SE of England. I'm very conscious from my weekend instructing that an awful lot of young (and not-so-young) people want to fly desperately but can't afford to maintain SEP currency.
From what everyone has so kindly advised here, and from trawling the net, I'm getting warm feelings for the Thruster. One thing that I can't seem to establish is whether it is a routinely trailable machine. I noted an ad in Microlight Flying for one including trailer, but is this an aeroplane that can be routinely dismantled and trailed or is it preferable to keep it rigged normally?
Thanks also to those advising about the posh aircraft. It's wonderful to feel such enthusiasm shining through.
