I started with a three axis microlight - an X-Air Falcon G-THAT - and learned with Gerry Breen in Portugal which I would recommend.
Flying on a budget definitely.
Later went on to get a group A aircraft then a state of the art glass fibre monster cost me an arm and a leg and I thought I was the bees knees - wrong.
It's easy to get upgraded to group A from three axis microlight but be prepared to do all the exams again.
My most fun flying was the X-Air microlight, I wish I had never moved from it.
I repeat...
