I can't deny it, I'm a hopeless renegade. But my tail lights are red too. : ) I'm not pretending to be conventional. I don't mind other pilots being confused as long as they see me. The speed I fly they they may just think I'm backing up. Red just happened to be the only color I had on hand when I got the inspiration to increase my visibility. I apologize to any pilot I may have succeeded in confusing with my little red LEDs.

I'd love to sell intact, but it's a bit overweight, and I missed the deadline to grandfather into Sport Pilot. Here's what I got: wings need fabric. Rotax 447 with B gearbox. Point ignition. Probably time for a rebuild, I put on 300 hours, after I got it used with no record of hours. It's got the 2:1 gear ratio in the gearbox, and I have the other gear that makes it 1.56:1 (i think that's what it was) Matco hydraulic brakes, not differential. BRS chute. Flaperon function, my own design. This cannot be separated from the airframe. 2 props........a 2 blade wood Precision adjustable and a 4 blade UltraProp adjustable. Instruments: dual cylinder temp. dual exhaust temp. tachometer. speedometer. altimeter. Original set of 2 gas tanks, holding 3 gallons between them. 5 gallon seat tank. Com helmet. Delcom handheld radio. Open trailer custom fit to the UltraStar. Make me offers for parts, or all of it together.
