Why are there no multi engine ultralight trainers?
I have about twenty hours behind a 912 and two forced landings already.
It sure would be nice not depending on a single powerplant.
Are two 40 hp engines unable to do the work of a 80hp?


Not an ultralight but it does have a pair of engines.

I didn't see a single engine service ceiling on the web page. I saw one a
year or so ago in a magazine, and recall that is was so miserable, as to be
assured of the one engine taking it to the crash site, if you were at any
density altitude, at all.
