Microlite Bookings
Discussion

There are two aircraft available for each time slot, so both you and your mate can fly together in 2 separate aircraft if you wish.
Sadly some of us pie lovers won't be able to take advantage as the maximum weight for each passenger is 85 kilos (approx 13 stone, 6lbs).
If I strap the two microlites together, I should be ok
Just in case anyone's dithering about microlites - they rock!
Utterly reassuring machines: you can look the thing over before you go up, satisfy yourself that the wing is indeed well tethered to the trike, verify that the various control mechanisms aren't about to fall off, etc.
And once you're up, it's still nice and reassuring. Even if the engine gives up, you glide - a bit steeper than a hang glider, but gliding it is nonetheless. Plenty of time to look for a convenient spot to land... say, a handy drag strip?
(Forgot to add: they're subject to annual CAA checks just like any other aircraft...)
In all seriousness, thoroughly recommended.
