Description

Flying in a microlight is an incredible rush – and the views are second to none. Climb into the cockpit of a dual-controlled flex wing microlight with a CAA approved instructor and get ready for the flying experience of a lifetime. Soar to sensational heights and feel the rush of wind from the open cockpit as the instructor shows you just what the weightshift machine can do. This exhilarating adventure begins with a detailed briefing which includes an introduction to the microlight. Then once you’re in the sky, there’s even a chance to take charge of the controls to find out exactly what it’s like to be a real life microlight pilot – a buzz that has to be experienced to be believed. Will you catch the flying bug?
