IIRC *Cri cri is about a hundred pounds under the FAR 103
wieght limit though of course the stall and max speed are
out of the range.

Neither the U2 or B10 are light enough for FAR 103, though
last I heard there is a prototype ultralight version not
currently flying or fully assembled. *I don;t recall if it
was completed and flown then disassembled or what.


For that matter, why not just bolt a pair of AMT's to the kingpost of
a Wills Wing. Eight good steps on a decent slope and you're airborne.
Ease the throttle open, ease the bar out, climb out, **** off the
gaggle of paraglider pilots circling overhead, earn a lifetime ban
from the launch site. Oh yeah, somebody will probably call the cops
and the FAA. No problem being part 103 legal, but somebody will still
try to pick a bone with you. BUT, I'm sure it would qualify for some
sort of record.
