G'Day everyone I have read through this thread and thought I might add my 2 bob. Firstly I am an outsider. I'm a 40yo man who has a deep desire to fly. Always have. I'm also broke. So I do a LOT of looking and trying to work out the cheapest and most accessible way I can fulfil my dream of flight. OK so. I have established my un credibility and you all know I am talking through my hat.
The reason I sometimes look at the larger ultralights is because my ultimate goal is to be able to take my missis friends and family on joy flights. Not flights from here (Townsville) to Brisbane. Just 20 min flights around our home. To share the joy of flight. So Ill look at a drifter or such and as the missis is walking past I will say “Look honey that has 2 seats I could take you up in that” Her answer is to hit me over the head with a rolled up newspaper say “No way would I go up in that …... thing”. So when I am big dollar dreaming I look at Jab's, Lightwings, and Skyfox's etc.
But …. When I look at what I am thinking are achievable ways for me to go flying I find myself looking at PPG's and microlights. The pipe and rag flying is still there it is just done with the HGFA. Now please nobody be upset with me I am but a poor ground dweller but That is just what I thought reading trough this thread. Now if anyone wants to give me something that fly's and learn me how to fly it I am all ears. But until then I'll keep lookin and dreamin thanks for reading
