If one flies under FAR Part 103 (the ultralight rule), then the max weight for the vehicle is 253 pounds. It MUST have one seat. Cannot hold more than 5 US gallons of fuel and cannot go faster than 55 knots (63 MPH). If the aircraft you seek to avoid the Sport Pilot regulations cannot meet the above mentioned criteria, it is an airplane and must be registered, N-Numbered, and the operator must hold at least a Sport Pilot rating.

After the Jan 31, 2008 FAA deadline I hear many two place trike pilots are shifting to single place in frustration over complications with Sport Pilot, and ELSA airworthiness. Any comments would be appreciated. -------- Have cameras, will travel!

I prefer ultralight flying over light sport stuff. my first UL was a quicksilver and I still miss her. I once herd of a ul pilot that would try to touch his wheels on a moving train up in northern Texas he did it several times till his wheel got stuck and it drug him along for 80 miles totaling his bird and landing him in the hospital .some times I think my experiences with flying UL's would make me an expert witness for the history of civil disobedience in America .lets keep this thread going shall we? malcolm michigan kit foxer ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message ultralight-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Ultralight-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/ultralight-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/ultralight-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
