You say 3 axis microlight...has it got to be 3 axis...I had the same idea when I went into microlights...you would never see me in anything but my flexwing now,
If finances are a prob...you can pick a usable one up for under 2k...yes it will be getting on and have a 2 stroke engine...but what fun....you will really feel part of the environment your flying in,
Useless though for progressing to a CPL.
