Does the passenger ride on the pilots lap?Looks like he stuffed that front wheel pretty hard. Wonder if that's how the pilot's ankle got jacked too?
...and that thing is a 2seater?
Flying is out of my wheelhouse. I would assume if it were a single seater, the pilot is in trouble with someone other than his passengerDoes the passenger ride on the pilots lap?

"King&Queen" seat from a chopper...now I see itThe passenger sits behind and elevated above the pilot. Kinda like stadium seating.

OK, makes sense now, thx."King&Queen" seat from a chopper...now I see it
So, me being kinda curious...If an ultralight is under 254lbs empty, single seat, fuel capacity 5gl or less and a max speed of 55...you don't need a license.
This sounds like a new and exciting way to both kill myself and piss off my wife
Yep...and then me and my two boys were watching videos. My 13yo likes aviation. He had a chance to go down to Tucson and fly with some kids from his school. It was a group called Wright Flight. They get guys to volunteer their time, fuel and planes...the kids get to take the controls, and head towards a landmark, turns and altitude changes, reading the instruments and such. It was a really cool opportunity for him. I wouldn't even know where to start.Google far part 103 to see if it's still in effect.
You have to have a pilot's license to fly him all the rules have changed you have to bees private pilot, experimental pilot, light sport pilot, Weight shift pilot We can only fly in the day time 30 minutes before sunrise until 30 minutes after sunset As far as Gas capacity I carry 15 gallon fuel tank on mineAs far as speed I can do 85 MPH My cruising speed is 64 And I burn 3 gallons per hourSo, me being kinda curious...If an ultralight is under 254lbs empty, single seat, fuel capacity 5gl or less and a max speed of 55...you don't need a license.

Do they have ultra lights for those of us that are gravitationally challenged?
after reading that I realize we are all gravitationally challenged OK my question was do they have ultra lights that can fly a big fat ass like myself?

Maybe I’ll give that a try, you think a harbor freight engine will do the trick?This might be your meal ticket. Skip to the 3min. mark.
