Am sure I saw a thread about this, either here or on Pprune, but it does seem to the case that there's more choice in the SEP market for low priced shares, zero capital syndicates or rentals than for microlights - when instinctively you'd expect the reverse to be true. With several weeks of scanning Afors, one would draw the conclusion that post-GST flying for microlights is much easier obtained through outright purchase of an aircraft, which of course can attract a hefty cost and then sole responsibility for maintenance. It's been getting to the stage where I was wondering whether it was worth even completing my revalidation at all - luckily I've been getting my mojo back of late!
