Not to difficult to fly no, but can be tiring if you run into shit weather which blows you around, no such things as fails afes in anything if your in trouble...
This is fantastic! I used to fly a microlight 20 years or more ago. Now I'm retiring to Kenya (I grew up in East Africa), I want to start again, & possibly keep one (with soft wheels!) at my beach plot at Che Shale, 16 miles north of Malindi. Maybe it could even be fitted with floats - a microlight seaplane hehehe! :-)
Hi Johnny, great video! I'm thinking about taking this up myself and will book a trial flight next month. You gave me a great taster for what it might be like through your video. Many thanks. Andrew
Hello John, like the camera work, I'm looking my-self to film my flying, could you please advise on what mount you used and any problems you have come across if any, Steve.
If you look at my profile I filmed an engine failure as a passenger with a small camera, now I have since passed my PPL I have bought a cam corder to start filming, blue skies Steve.
Minimum of 25 hours of Instruction and some written exams which are multiple choice questions,depending on weather etc in the UK can be costly some folks go abroad to learn quicker due to the weather factor and it can work out less expensive but in the end it will bring many happy hours for you.
Cool you will love it mate.

Nice one mate, very good!
Thanks for that!
I'm thinking about going into it,
How long would it take you to go,
lets say, 100 miles and would you need a fuel stop? How much fuel do those thing use? Oh sorry another question! Which model is that trike?
