- Flight Experience with a Microlight at Rantau, Seremban

Terry, Ken and myself departed from office at 8.45am in the morning. We arrived  at destination after 1.25hours (10am). It was really far for us (KL to Seremban) :P.


We met Mr Chong, the person in charge, is an experienced flight instructor. He started involving in Microlight aeroplane industry since year 1983. He mentioned that 1 imported microlight aeroplane cost about RM100k, but if local made then will be half price of it. Wow... cant believe that this small machine is so pricey.




Our first participant, Mr Ken wearing helmet and awaiting his  Scenic Flight and Tour Narration of Seremban. Terry and myself, taking photo around while waiting for our turns.


It was nice and mind free when in the sky. Breezy wind, nice land's scene when viewing from the sky and stable flight that you can enjoy the journey to the max with no worries. Haha.. But if for those who looking for more exciting flight (like roller-coaster) then you better choose paramotoring.  This microlight flight is suite for those people who wanted to enjoy the peacefulness and freedom in the sky. Emm..Anyway the tour is short and end sharp after 15mins. Haha.. I wondering why our flights must landed sharp after 15mins, not even 1 min extra?? Really so punctual?? Feeling abit bad. Haha.. It was slightly annoying that Mr Chong kept checking the time when controlling the microlight.


Our sessions ended about 11am. Cert and souvenir given to us. 
If you interested to control the earoplane your own, you can pay for learning lessons. 1hour charge RM250.
