Sport cruiser...........first impresions

I have now flown a few hours in the aircraft and think it is a little light in pitch by the standards of most GA aircraft but I am told that this is normal for a microlight, the aircraft falls between these two types so I guess this is OK but I would recomend any one who is low time and has only flown Cessna's or Pipers to do an hour or so with an instructor untill they are happy with the pitch control.

The aircraft is comfortable to sit in so two or three hour flights should not leave you feeling half dead unless it is turbulent, the low wing loading makes the ride a bit interesting on a good gliding day!

The construction shows that it is realy built down to a weight! This I see as the main weakness of the aircraft, in the hands of a carefull owner this would not be a problem but I doubt if the aircraft is robust enough to take the "club enviroment" without a few problems.
