What do you think

Hi,i`ve just got my PPL and want to become a commercial pilot some day,but i`m 19 at the moment so i have time.

I`ve recently decided to save up for a car..until my friend pointed out little flying machines called microlights..and I am thinking of getting one.

My idea is,and question to you,do they really count that much towards building up hours??..in my mind yes because its a flying machine and your in command,thus you log the time..but..I kinda think in the back of my mind its too good to be true..why aren`t others doing it?? its an el cheapo way of doing it..an airline in the future may frown at 400 hours in a microlight..or would they????..I wouldn`t just buy it for hour building..these things are fun!,but its a consideration...

any comments would be appreciated.

Stephen.
