Why can't you putz around with it locally? Around the local area I can

145-150 isn't putzing. I want slow, lazy, weekend hanging out. Powered
Parachute would be fun too, but those can't take any wind at all. The
FIB looks like fun as well. I'd prefer nothing between me and the air.


Then have a look at the Quicksilver ultralight. This was the first ultralight
I trained in (actually, I trained in the model MX-II, which was a two-seat
fat UL trainer).

Quite honestly, I've never had as much fun flying that I did in that
airplane er... vehicle ;-)

Yeah, that is one to look at. A neighbor of mine is thinking we might,
eventually, build one together. Of course that means moving to our lot
in NC.
