Three-axis Microlights, For Sale X-air Falcon Mk 2 582 Blue Top, For Sale, advert ID=15396
See this ad for a nice example of an Xair Falcon. A "vanilla" Xair (ie not a Falcon - and some would argue the better aircraft) will cost you considerably less. Micros are often owned by groups as well to split costs. Cost of ownership will work out about the same as for a car.

Have a look at this link to the BMAA website to find a school near you. Go and visit them (call first) and have a chat, see if you like it, take a trial lesson. Better still, visit several near you - different schools have different styles, some are very commercial in outlook, others are more "clubby".
