Before aircrafts were invented, poking a winged-beast in the ribs and clinging tightly to its scales for dear life was the most common joyride. Exchange Middle-Earthen entertainment for seat-belted aerial exploits with today’s Groupon: for RM125, you get a 15- to 20-minute scenic flight tour around Rantau, Negeri Sembilan in a microlight aircraft from One Day Pilot (RM180 value).

Example of a microlight experience.

Zealous sky voyagers shell their heads and belt up as each microlight – which can carry one pilot and one passenger at a time – races along the runway before catapulting explorers into the blue yonder. Certified pilots, with up to 20 years experience, navigate the winged air karts with the grace and agility of a trout-fishing grizzly, while offering a 15- to 20-minute guided tour of the town’s history and geography. As they comb the skies pretending to be scavenging grey falcons, passengers get an aerial view of the scenic greens, and if they squint hard enough, may even catch a glimpse of the celebrated dumpling empire.

Every 25 hours, dedicated wing engineers give the sail birds a quick heart check, and every 100 hours, the Quicksilver MX-2 microlights – which are ultralight trainers with cable-braced single surface wings – get a thorough maintenance, keeping them in compliance with USA flying regulations. Fliers are advised to don trousers or long denim, t-shirts and sunglasses, as fabric challenged attire like sleeveless tops and mini skirt may result in mid-air fashion malfunction.

Not suitable for individuals with heart conditions and pace makers. Minimum 5 per group. Maximum 40 people per day. Sleeveless tops, mini skirts, hot pants and high heels strictly prohibited. Maximum weight 85kg.
