[QUOTE="DigginForGold, post: 122583, member: 4298"] Anyone on this forum fly? Either now or in the past? What do/did you fly? As stated in the title, I'm seriously considering obtaining a Microlight Pilot Certificate and "investing" in a flexwing. I had a introductory/joy flight over a year ago and loved every second of it. Immediately got home and looked up what it would take...suffice to say I was in no position to get in to it at that time. And for the better I thought. I tend to get excited and dive into things without, some might say, sufficient consideration. But now, a year and a half later, I still really really want to do it. And now I'm in a position where I can easily do it. But it's no small investment. Just obtaining the Pilot's Certificate costs $3,500-6000+ depending on how quickly I pick it up. Then add a minimum $15,000, but more like $20,000 for a decent enough second hand microlight of your own. So really, I'm looking at $25,000ish to get into this. Definately not a small decision. But I think I'm going to do it and I think it'll be worth it. Going to contact the nearest place where I can get lessons in the next couple of days for a word and see if I can get things kicked off...hopefully starting early February. Can't wait. [/QUOTE]
