It looks like the "UltraCruiser" was made to get by as an ultralight.
You MIGHT be able to call it an UL, but you'd have to grit your teeth.
It's right on the edge of being too fast and too heavy.

It's a 60-80 mph cruise, the UL limit is 55 kts MAX. The lightest
version's listed weight is *exactly* the maximum weight for an UL, the
stall speed is 25-28 MPH and the spec is 24 kts.

The other versions are clearly too heavy and fast.
