Flexwing microlight advice.

I wonder if anyone may be able to assist. I have finally made the decision that I want to take up flexwing flying. I have had a couple of trial flights in the past but could not be bothered selling my share in my Piper up to this point. I would not get away with not taking my step dad flying virtually every week but the trouble is he is nearly 17 stones in weight and I am 12 stone so I just wanted some advice of the most appropriate flex and still have enough fuel for an hour or so with reserve. I would really like to keep it as basic and inexpensive as possible and was hoping that the older machines such as blades etc may be suitable but seeing as my step dad will be my main flying partner any machine I get would have to be able to cope with the pair of us. Any advice or experiences would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Beet
