To be classified as an ultralight, a flying craft will weigh less than 254 pounds, have only one seat, a 5 gal fuel capacity, and a maximum speed in level flight of 63 mph. Aircraft that look and fly like ultralights even if they don't strictly meet one or more of these criteria are generally accepted as ultralights by the ultralight community. Kits, depending on the design, require between 50 and 500 hrs to build. He's been flying ultralights for over 16 years. For the Summer, we are going to meet the second Saturday of the month.
Visitors are always welcome.
