Thanks for the constructive inputs, I used to say I wouldn't want anything to easy to fly incase I got bored but I think it's important to be safe incase I've not flown it in a while I can jump straight in. Getting something forgiving and rewarding is a challenge. I thought of a chipmunk but it can get expensive flying it often and I have a few friends who own a share in one but never fly it. . With regard to the C42 weight I'm 6ft 1 but slim...ish, I was going to take 2 adults not worried about bags a rucksack will suffice. Daft question as I'm pre VLA etc but is the microlight version and VLA/class A versions differnt aircraft or is it like commercial just pay more fees to CAA to class the aircraft higher weight?
With regard LAA aircraft I love that scene but I wouldn't fancy an amateur built aircraft which is a shame as there are so many great designs.
