In the US I believe they are not allowed above 17,999 ft.

From Ultralight news.com:

"A Falcon UL still claims the altitude record of 26,900'."

I can't find it but for what it's worth, I once read that a Mitchel U2
was flown to about the same altitude over Germany. It's a cool little
plane but at 6'5", if I could fit in one, it would never get me off the
ground (even if I became anorexic and not F'ing likely either...)
