I started off with an X-Air.
Then ambition crept in and I got a group A aircraft, then a bigger and better one etc.
I had most fun in the X-Air and looking back, changing from that to be with the big boys was a mistake. Flying was never such fun after that.
Drawback of micro light flying is the minority who are very 'hung ho' in their flying, no squark, even no radio and sometimes few checks. As long as you ignore these its lovely flying.
