No, you don't! However, most flying sites do require a rating due to insurance requirements Any aircraft that weighs less than 175 pounds is considered experimental and does not require a license
That said, I would STRONGLY recommend instruction from a licensed pilot, and at least 1 tandem flight in order to know what to expect in the air, as well as ways to correct problems that may arise during flight. Fly smart, and don't risk your life for a quick thrill!
if training was cheaper people wouldn't have to self teach. Or do you think only the well off should have access to this beautiful form of aviation. I'm self taught and if anything I take more care than other pilots around me. And I'm no idiot.
I dont know where youre from but in europe you are not allowed to fly without a valid licence and you can only get a licence from a approved flyingschool.
I'm pretty sure theres no law in europe that says youhave to have a license. They would like you to think you need one because at £1500 to get to club pilot its a nice earner.
