RE: Anybody fly Ultralights?
I am one of those self taught ultralight pilots. I had been flying models about two years first and it helped me a lot. However my first one was one of those big park flyers with a stall speed of 18 mph!!! No way would I fly in more than a slight breeze. I gradually moved up the ultralight chain to faster and heavier craft. That first one only weighed 180lbs.
The Challengers are great aircraft but you will need a license for thew two place model. Here's a list of the ones I've owned:
Teratorn TA
Fisher FP 101
Ercoupe (licensed aircraft)
Invader MK II
Chinook
Mitchell Wing A-10
Quicksilver MXL (licensed EXP)
I won't go into all the crazy experiences my friends and I went through but someday I may write a book about it. Suffice it to say GET SOME TRAINING!
Then have some great fun.
