Dudley, what's more fun and exciting than stalling a Breezy?

I gotta tell ya John; I was at an EAA flyin and was offered a flight in
that thing. My wife took one look at it and REALLY didn't want me to do
it. I couldn't resist it though and accepted the kind offer. Man, was
THAT an experience!! By the time I rotated I was wondering just what the
hell I had in mind when I decided to do it!! :-) But after I got used to
sitting out in space on a deck chair with the wind blowing up my butt at
pattern altitude, the rest was a "breeze" so to speak. I actually did
some stalls. (standard procedure before landing a strange beast like
that). They were "kinda cute" :-)))

Is the Breezy an ultralight?

I'm not quite sure how it would be classified these days with all the
reg changes going on. In those days it was experimental. It was however
heavier than an ultralight.

No, but close to it, in ideals. Verrry open, as it is a truss frame with a
wing, tail, engine, seat and wheels bolted to it. See

There is an ultralight version called lil' breezy.
