    Beautiful airplane, proven in its round the world journey by Zara Rutherford, at the extremes of temperature.

    Love the Shark. Probably the most stable microlight out there as well as one of the fastest

    Hi mikey,really enjoyed the video. With ref to training ,what's the vision like when flying from the rear seat.

    • @Theflyingirishmann

      Glad you liked it! It was a bit strange because I was trying to look around Paulo. I sat in the front seat on the ground and the view is alot better

    Absolute beginner enthusiast question : does the sun burn the skin? Did you use sun cream? Is the window enough?

      I'm the wrong person to ask.... being Irish anything over 6 degrees is tropical and i'll burn haha

    Awesome, want one.
    It's crazy that they are called Microlights, they are more complex than a C172, a lot more fun and a lot cheaper I presume.

      Makes 2 of us! I've just come back from the factory and will have a vlog up soon!
      I've not had this much fun in a 172 😉

      The FAA is an dysfunctional waste of an organization when it comes to general aviation. All they had to do was just duplicate the European model for light sport. More weight like 1800 gross and everything else the same as European model.

      Thanks! Depends on the configuration; typically from 160 thousand euros without VAT.

    Looks like your are having a lot of fun, but the low level stuff is what accidents are made of. Read the accident databases and you’ll see that the top cause of crashes is “maneuvering”, in other words, buzzing, low level flying, steep turns at low altitude. Hate to see you become a statistic bro.

      Appreciate it mate! not something I do often. I now do Aerobatics and that has thought me so much about being high and safe
