Home Despot Ultralight ......"Motor Glider 101"

A: Why not name it 103? (Stall speed. Drat!)
B: I like different, and this is different!!!

(From the link)
Power is provided by two 10 HP Tecumseh motors are mounted directly onto two
by two's, ....


IIRC it also weighs more than 400 lbs, nowhere close to being
a FAR 103 Ultralight.

That's why he calls it a 'Motorglider', not an Ultralight.

OTOH if you have (or can get) a glider license with a self-launch
endorsement then a motorglider may be a better choice than
a FAR 103 ultralight.
