Thanks for the great replies....

I have to admit (with regarding the difficulty in converting from fixed wing) that I have thought about exactly the same issue - it doesn't worry me, but I am well aware of it. The good thing is that Ince have a flight simulator, rigged up to conventional flexwing controls - so a few hours on this should help (alongside airtime)! If I'm honest, it excites me having to learn something new.

Here's a bit of a perhaps arrogant question - do you think there is a relationship between cost and safety? I don't want to buy an all singing and dancing aircraft - three wheels and and a seat would do me - to increase the feeling of being at one with the aircraft. If I could buy one for anything up to 5k, I'd be made up, but just want your opinion on this ...

Next stage for me is to get in touch with Ince and take I from there - and for those that know my regular style of posting, I will be sure to let you know how I get on

Thanks again

Maz
