i dont' think anyone does.. i think its more like.. what happens if you get caught in the rain.. no one wants to fly if it is raining out

 

Someone say flying? 13k feet in that thing? No thank you. Hell a 152 takes about an hour to hit 10k feet, which is the service ceiling by the way. Class D, C, and B airspace or any airspace with a tower requires 2 way radio communications. Non-towered airports you are suppose to self announce everything, but you could probably get away without it at some of these places, or buy a handheld reciever? Well this is what I was doing yesterday, still from a video I shot.

 

It needs a Turbo.

yeah.. the thing is, i might be able to get special clearance if i call in ahead of time.. odds are im going to have to get a handheld radio of some sort..

 

Special clearance at a controlled tower airspace though? By strict FAA enforcement they have to go by the book, which means 2 way radio communication. Not sure if you've ever flown in controlled airspace before, but sometimes they throw all sorts of diversions and instructions at you in order to keep the traffic seperated properly. If you really are gona be flying this thing in radio contact with the tower and departure/approach, you may want to take some lessons with someone who can help you learn the lingo. The ATC controllers get very cranky if you don't use the correct verbage or talk too much, ect....

 

This is kinda what it is you are looking for. Go-Kart with wings. http://www.controller.com/listings/forsale...5&setype=1&nh=0

 

The excess verbage is the worse. It kills me when I got like 15 planes to talk to and one guy keys up like he is the only person in the sky.

 

Haha. Yeah I got yelled at the other day, but I swear I was keeping it short. I need to learn to say wilco more often.

 

Some more good info for you. http://www.ulflyingmag.com/2003web/regs.html



"No person may operate an ultralight vehicle within Class A, Class B, Class C or Class D airspace or within the lateral boundaries of the surface area of Class E airspace designated for an airport unless that person has prior authorization from the Air Traffic Control (ATC) facility having jurisdiction over that airspace."

 

now that is an ultra light.. i think the main difference is that it has three way controls.. rudder, elevator, ailerons...



what im considering getting is just a giant kite... with a motor.. lol
