The flying that was done did not require a plane weighing more than
1320 lbs. It was VFR day flight with none or one passenger. Several of
the new LSPs have very impressive useful loads. One, in fact has a
useful load of over 700 lbs, and burns 4 GPH. Rather a useful amount
to be able to carry.

One of the rules has to do with weight. 1300 lbs, is it? Either you
know a lot of Cub drivers, or they couldn't in fact have done their
flying under Sport Pilot rules.

The Cub was "the plane that can almost kill you." The same is true of
most ultralights. I have a friend who once flew into a tree, climbed
down, got a chainsaw, cut the tree down, and flew the ultralight home.

Note that bicycles can use most of the same roads that cars and trucks
do, but are seldom registered nor their operators licensed. It's just
harder to kill yourself (or more important, someone else) on a
bicycle.
