[QUOTE="GTS225, post: 454911, member: 6678"] ********************************************************************************************* And most people would believe as you do, Scott. But, nope.....part 103 of the FAA's own regulations allow non-licensed flight in what is termed an "ultralight" aircraft. There are five very basic rules governing what an ultralight is. It may not weigh any more than 254 lbs., flight ready. Stall speed not greater than (approx.) 24mph, level forward flight. Max speed not greater than (approx.) 63MPH, level forward flight. May carry one human only. Max fuel, 30 lbs, (or about five gallons). There are also regulations governing where it may be flown, such as no flight over a "congested" area. (cities, high traffic carnivals or gatherings, etc.) Most ultralights are a fixed wing, conventional airplane, but there have been a few true helicopters, many gyrocopters, and a moderate amount of biplanes, mostly styled after WW1 aircraft. Just a quick "crash" course as to what an ultralight is. Roger [/QUOTE]
