Thanks M14 for your insight!
To the other more helpful replies, I thought that would be the case but thought I would check the temperature. I would just hire one but that limits you so much as I plan to go to some out of the way places that the owner of the aircraft would not allow.
I would be interested in the microlight option can you log the hours as normal or do they fall in to a completely different category. Any more idea's on a type that is tail wheel and very rugged and can land off field and carry a little gear.
