  1. Welcome to the Microlight Forum

    The Microlight forum is a friendly place for microlight pilots and enthusiasts for the lighter end of aviation to share their thoughts, dreams and experiences. Whether you fly flexwing, fixed wing or parawing, old or new or if you are an experienced pilot or just thinking of learning. Everyone is welcome, all we ask is that you register.

    The best platform for any camera is a microlight/ultralight aeroplane. Why not share your aerial photography with us in the Monthly Photo Competition. You never know, you might win a prize from our microlight store sponsors the Microlight Store.
