Ive got a headache from hanging upside down....

this is what I have of my she was 544 kg but they have dropped my back too 400 kg

Hope this helps

how can a carbon cub be classed as an ultralight ?

theres no way it could come under the 600 kg limit with full fuel & two people .......????

I saw one flying under 24 reg two days ago wth a full load !

0032 will be there weather permitting

Old station not far away too

As far as I am concerned an ultralight aircraft is any aircraft that is below the 80 knot cruise

Anything above in my eyes is a light sports aircraft

That how I define the difference any way ,!!

My two bob worth "

Yes I feel we have lost our way they sum it up with the story in the sport mag " the Original Goals"

I think any aircraft that is faster then 80 kn should be a lsa or expemental class eg : LP / HP defines the difference pretty straight foward to me.

u only have to look at the sport pilot mag to see what I am talking about Eg : your flat out finding story or information on an ultralight aircraft most are LSA or expermental

I think we have come along way with our flying priviledges and rights that is a good thing but I think that we should be looking at the way we are classing our aircraft eg a Super cub is no ultralight aircraft to my way of thinking .

thanks
