[net.aviation] Ultra-lite info requested.

jar@ccieng5.UUCP (07/21/83)

I'm trying to find some information about ultra-lite airplanes. Does anyone
know where I can purchase one ? I've heard that they are similar to a hang
glider with a motor and that they are easy to fly, requiring only a small
area to land them and not requiring a license to fly them. Any information
you may have about ultra-lites is appreciated.        Jim Rogers

Ultra-lites are affordable, fun, and unless you are an experienced
pilot DANGEROUS!!!    Get good training!!

See the latest National Geographic (mine arrived last week) for an article
on ultralights.

I'll try this one again.
If you can find an August edition of "Ultralight Aircraft" you will find
a Buyers Guide listing alot of the current machines on the market.
