Good but only for boffins - By: Mr. Benjamin Frain, 11 Jun 2006 
Whist the information contained in the book is obviously sound I found it far too indulgent in the technical areas. It reminded me of science teachers at school who were so wrapped up in the detail they were unable to convey basic (and not overly complex) theories to the layman.
If you found mathematics & physics a doddle then this book will suit you fine. However, for others you may still find yourself searching the net for far clearer & succint definitions & explanations of normal principals such as how a wing creates lift.
Having read this book I have, if anything, ended up more confused about flying than I was before. However, perhaps when my lessons begin I am able to apply some of this exhaustive theory, I may find it more beneficial.
However, in summary, whilst it offers a wealth of technical information, it is often poorly explained & summarised, & seems to presume that the reader will understand the wealth of flying acronyms mentioned perhaps once in passing in previous chapters.
Microlight handbook - By: Iain Smith, 22 Dec 2002 
An absolute must for the new wannabe microlight pilot.After searching around, this book can only be described as the Microlight pilots bible.Very easy to understand & full of pictures & diagrams.Money well spent.
The Definitive book on Microlighting theory - By: , 19 Sep 2001 Brian has written the definitive book covering alll aspects of microlighting theory. It is a must for anyone intending to obtain a PPL Microlighting license. Each section is clearly written & backed up with excellent line drawings. When I obtained my license I found the book invaluable, & even now I still go back to it from time to time to refresh my memory. This is a must-have for everyone flying, or intending to fly, microlights
