Also he said if instructing was a thing i may be interested in that the pay is better for a microlight instructor due to most people becoming class a instructors as a path way to the airlines.
I know that is true. I guess if you have no ambition to fly for the airlines/bizjet etc and are quite happy to instruct on microlights for a living then making a living out of it is possible. I have seen the Ikarus C42 at Swansea and they looked pretty smart, and will apparently match the Class A aircraft for performance too.
I know some Microlights are cheap to buy and run but that's about all I can say. Not sure about the safety side of things or landing at airfields abroad.
