In that case, you need to learn in a trike (weightshift), I imagine
you'll just have to take what you can find in that regard. Find your
local club and ask around.

Default Beginner's Choice for Ultralight Aircraft

For more context, I am from Maine. I have looked around and the
closest active clubs seem to be in Massachusetts. In terms of
training, there is training in roughly southern, central, and eastern
Maine. Fortunately, I can choose without travel reservations between
the three options, because it is approximately the same distance to
all from where I live.

My more specific question is, do you and others recommend training on
Aerodynamic Control Land (ACL) craft (e.g. Quicksilver Sprint) or
Weight Shift Land (WSL) craft (e.g. Trikes)? All the instructors in
Maine advertise training on ACLs, but only one advertises training on
WSLs. Before, I train and fly, I am wondering what people like and
dislike about training and flying ACLs and WSLs, so I can make an
informed decision on training and flying when the time comes.

Thanks. :)
