The Microlight bug bit me while camping with a friend on a ridge in the Drakensberge.
Some weirdo came busting trough the clouds with his trike. Amazing view that was! Had to learn that too.
Went back to belgium and started training with my instructor Christof. (The guy is 27 and has already 8000 hours as an instructor on microlights).
Now after 2 years I'm flying my own Air Creation GTE with Rotax 582 and Ixess wing. Nice machine but costly on fuel.
In the mean time I'm learning to fly the FK-9 microlight plane. Just got solo last weekend. I know, it's not a trike, but it gives me the opportunity to fly when the weather is just not good enough for a trike. And that's quite often the case here in Belgium.

No English on the site but I think most of you can read and understand a bit of Flemish.
I hope to be able to fly in SA soon.
