So, don't fly in it. Move on.

Some people don't fly on Friday 13th. You won't get me in one of those GA microkite machines as I don't think they are safe. Others use them daily. I ride a motorcycle in London, but would never ride a cycle there as i think it's too dangerous.

It takes all sorts, and everyone should do what is right for them. I can see that you have made your choice. You are in a minority, though, if they are one of the most common helicopters in the world today. Lots of students (who might not know better, you might argue) and lots of instructors (difficult to argue that for them) use them every day.

Oh, and I am letting my daughter learn in a Robinson R44 Clipper II.
