Has anyone ever owned one or want up in one. I am very interested in getting one. you can buy them for around 6k used and all you need is a training course to start flying around. I was just wondering if they are hard to fly, or any other info you can tell me about.

You need a sport pilots license for most of them now.

I rode on one when I was in the military down in Texas. I had considered buying one too. But I felt like it wouldn’t get much use.
