Microlighting and gliding
Hi Adam,
I've never heard of micro-gliding! Microlights are all powered aircraft.
Weight-shift microlighting is not done from ordinary flying clubs. There are separate clubs for that purpose generally operating from unlicensed fields and pasture; (although the microlighters do fly into aerodromes for a visit quite routinely).
Some flying clubs do have a certain amount of three axis micro-light flying, but mostly this too is done from the separate microlighting clubs.
You can find the whereabouts of all the micro clubs from the BMAA (British Microlight Aircraft Association). Look 'em up on the web.
If you want to have a look at a typical three axis microlight, take a look at the Ikarus or the Eurostar online. That will give you an idea of what sort of aircraft we are talking about.
You can find out about gliding clubs from the BGA (British Gliding Association).
Regards,
BP.
