As a "new boy" here I am a little nervous about expressing my opinions in such august company, but perhaps I may be allowed a word or two.
Like many others I was deeply involved in Air Cadet gliding for decades, as well as flying BGA gliders, civilian microlights and light aircraft. In recent years I joined a local syndicate and have since spent many happy hours flying C42, Eurostar, A22 Foxbat and TL2000 S3 Sting aircraft. Of all these I would suggest that the Sting S4, with a dual-throttle mod. and ballistic parachute would be near ideal for cadet flying with the A22LS Foxbat (again with ballistic 'chute) running it a close second.
However after seeing at first hand the omni-shambles known as the "pause" I will not be holding my breath waiting for any good news on this particular front!
