Kia ora tatou (Hi everybody),

Thanks for all your replies. I'm none the wiser, except that it's obvious there are aficionados of both WSC and 3axis (gyros, too). So I guess I shall have fun finding out for myself which category I want to join.

Thanks for that, Doug. I always thought gyros were cool, but I suspect they're a bit outside my price rang. The only ones I've seen for sale that I could afford are single seaters, and definitely don't have jump take off ability. Otherwise I'd almost certainly go for one.

Regards, Micko.

Hi Robinsm, I'm on the north side, Kohukohu. Is that a Bantam in your photo? Where do you fly from?.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the advice. There is much to consider. I guess I worry that a flexwing can get into an irrecoverable tumble. Trikepilot what is it makes you more confident with your trike than with Bantam. Incidentally I live in Kohokohu.

I'm a recently retired ex teacher seeking to take up a new hobby. I'd love to get comments comparing the merits and demerits of WSC (Flexwing) versus 3-axis microlights for recreational and cross-country flying.
