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.

The ATC controllers get very cranky if you don't use the correct verbage or talk too much, ect....

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.

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."
