Microlights & Ultralights Pilots !

Pilots of Microlights - need your advice :

Considering PPL.... but thought I might investigate the world of Microlights. I'm a bit worried about flew-winging-it.... but after reading several pilot magazines, I have discovered there are things called "3-axis microlights".

My assumption, based on pictures, is that these "3-axis microlights" look like and probably fly similar to standard SEPs - is that true? I assume also that operating costs would be cheaper - true / false? Can 3-axis a/c be hired as easy as a C152 ?

Having read LASORS - it would appear this can be done on a NPPL - but LASORS or the NPPL website makes no mention of 3-axis microlights - just microlights. Does all the LASORS and NPPL stuff relate to 3-axis as well.

So - a number of questions above all relating to how 3-axis microlights fits into the overall licensing and flying picture.

I seek an expert to help me understand and see the (micro)light !!
