how easy is it to fly a microlight?are they safe?

Aircraft systems require higher current ratings to operate the various loads/systems. To accomodate the high power, 20 KW to 100 KW generators into a small aircraft, and also to accomodate, larger size electrical equipment like servos, power dsitributors and electro-mechanical devices, 400 Hz is the chosen frequency. As 400 Hz reduces the size of electrical equipment considerably. 50 Hz would require HUGE aircraft.
