Yep looks like fun, Same company, although simpler aircraft cheap as well.
What’s more under the SSDR proposals due sometime in the next six months, hopefully, will be fully legal in the UK...
should be able to get one flying for around £4k.

They would mostly be classed as microlights in the UK (the full scale look like they just tip over into the VLA category), but so far as I can see the dream classic is the only one that would qualify under the proposed 115kg de-regulated category.
Any of the others you'd have to put through either BMAA or PFA for design approval and no doubt would suffer a few mandated design changes, but it would be fun to do. If anybody is seriously thinking of doing so, certifying light aeroplanes is something I'm quite good at, and I might be persuaded to help out for an appropriate consideration in flying hours.
They should all be flyable on a PPL + microlight differences. (The light aeroplane, I think I'd still do the microlight differences training - it's probably the best way to learn about the combination of high drag and low intertia that you'll get on an aircraft that shape and size).
