Have you ever been to a sunny grass airstrip watching a group of enthusiastic pilots preparing their cherished aircraft for the afternoon's flying, and reflected on the reasons why you were watching and not flying on this warm idyllic day?

Now, with the advent of microlight aircraft, M.B.A. have produced a true 3 axis pilot's machine which cuts the cost of flying to shreds.
