If you can pass the exams without anyone helping you nobody cares.

The disablilty stuff can be a bit funny and wide open to opinion, but the medic that deals with it at the CAA is a pretty nice practical bloke.

Some will say no no not possible then someone else will say crack on and fly.

As homonculus says only you will be able to know if your struggling or not.

But don't give up even if you find the rotary stuff is a bit to much.

I wouldn't have thought you would have a problem with microlights.

To be honest rotary is a bit of a black art to most fixed wing pilots and vastly more expensive. For the same price as one hour in a R22 you can get 4-5 hours in a microlight. Depends what you want the license to do. Nothing stopping you having a yearly flirt with a eggbeater even if you do get a microlight ticket. Persoanlly I intend to have lessons and maybe go solo but to be honest I will never get the license because I would never keep in current and I would be always on the backside of dangerous not flying them enough.
