Hi people
Has anyone flown in a microlite before? Im T3 complete and 6'5' tall and am a bit worried about tranfering into the cockpit(?) If your as tall as me you will know the difficulty of transfers into certain cars because of the height of the chair is much higher than an average chair,and you bash your head getting in!
If anyone has any info it would be much appreciated,thanks! :clap:

Smashing guy called Steve Slade (a para) took me flying in his a few weeks ago. He's a VERY experienced pilot. Getting in and out depends on the design of the microlight really...
