I agree but microlights may not be the answer if we want to keep the G in VGS and have an aircraft that all Cadets can fly in. So I would suggest that Scheibe Rotax Falkes are purchased - just the bog standard non-turbo ones at about the same cost as a microlight to buy new. With ~500lbs of useful load then it means that the biggest Cadets can get a go, whereas most microlights struggle with useful load above 430lbs (and some even less than that).

SF 25 C

Hell, we could even call it the Venture TMkIII...
