Flexwing microlight questions
I have finally freed up some time this year to learn to fly and have decided that the low costs of owning and running microlights are highly attracive.
I have read Chris Finnigan's book and am drawn to flexwings.
I live in South Bucks, near Beaconsfield. I would appreciate your recommendations for instructors/schools within one hour's drive.
Having used the BMAA site links extensively, many schools seem to encourage students to buy their own aircraft after about 8 hours instruction.
I would appreciate some recommendations on best first flexwings - Chris Finnigan's book suggests Pegasus XL (i.e. 2nc generation flexwings) however some of the schools I have spoken to have been negative - too slow, not good in a headwind, (no doubt because they want to sell shares in their Quantum).
When qualified, ideally I would keep the microlight in the garage at home and trailer it to the airfield.
I would really appreciate your views.
