Thanks for the advice guys, gone and bought myself a nice little microlight so hope to have lots of fun this spring and summer flying round the scottish highlands.
Genghis your right, farmstrip flying is very different to what I'm used to, but I'm looking forward to learning all the in and outs, I belong to a club with quite a few members who are experienced in my new type and they've been very keen to show me the ropes.
Thanks again.
