BillieBob - Surely if I completed things in the minimum times (unlikely, i know, but...) I would only have to do 40 hours flying, still saving me £600+ on the cost of a PPL?
Xrayalpha - As much as I like the idea of microlighting, and would love to have a go, it isn;t something that I think I'd enjoy as much as a 'standard' fixed wing aircraft. Though, having never tried it, I could well be wrong.
Thank you
