motorized paraglyders

A lot of the have ceilings as high as 16,500' (some maybe even higher) and
as long as they carry the required oxygen, there's nothing that says they
can't go there.

Is it FAR 103 that regulates motorized paraglyders and such?

That's a good question; it might be Part 105.

Part 105 is he

Thanks. I'm thinking Part 105 refers to non-powered chutes, but maybe I
missed something there. 103 may apply, or maybe they aren't regulated
at all, but that's hard to believe because I've seen them as high as
3000' agl, where they can mix with airplanes.
