Glad you like it. It really does put a BIG grin on your face, even as passenger!

Your confirmation email contains user name and password

Brilliant ! However, in keeping with other current threads on here, far to few Hi-vis jackets and H & S here would have a fit at how close to dangerous machinery people were getting

I'm sorry, but I was under the impression that Ultraflight's Samba XLA is a group A aircraft which you can fly on a standard PPL(A) and without the need for microlight rating. Open to coreection of course... You are correct but Ultraflight no longer own EI-XLA. However there is no such model as a S...

Ultraflight's current fleet are all microlights so you will not be able to re-validate your PPL with them. The samba XXL can be got either as a microlight (MTOW 450kg) or as a permit (MTOW 540kg). Paperwork is the only difference. One of the first XXLs on a Permit has a reg of EI-XLA .
