Does anyone have a handle on whether the single place trikes are a hot item right now? 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.

I have always wanted a trik   prices will drop late in  the year and next summer making weight will be hard  but spare parts will  be  available   motes will get cheaper  used but will  become  worth less as time  grows on   malcolm  from  michigan

The problem is not how many seats but rather how heavy and how fast. 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.

If you are looking for a true ultralight and if you think you have found  one I hope you do have a camera because they are about as mythological as  a  unicorn or mermaid.      matronics  is a  wonderful place  but I am getting tired of the other 2 sights I have  ben visiting. 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

Well, to say the least,  I'm partial to "low and slow".
