A family friend thought a gyro copter would be fun after he lost his pilots license to old age, he flew it around here and there in CA, one day while he was at the top of small mountain in Death Valley the engine died, he began to spin and fall, he just made it to the edge where the mountain turned to desert sand where he crashed. He was able to walk away, lucky for him there were campers way out in the desert a mile or so from him, he hiked over and they took him to his truck and trailer miles away. He then gave up flying, bought RC planes to give him a fix.

You can get plans to build them for about $50-200 and source parts to make them on your own. A lot of it's just that pipes are bent at the production site, welded parts are made, complex geometry are cut or bent, and tools are used that some homebuilders won't have. It also takes a lot less time to just build a kit (3-400 hours) than to build from plans (800+)

Hi everyone. Private pilot here. I’ve tracked every penny I’ve ever spent on flying. It cost me about $10,000 over the course of 2 1/2 years to get my full license, including ground school, materials, test prep, taking the tests, etc. (I had 60hrs logged when I took the practical). Last time I checked, that’s cheaper than $20k.... and gave me 60 hours of instructor-based lessons.... and I can take passengers. Just sayin...

I'm fairly certain border monitoring now also uses LIDAR and sonic detection (for aircraft engines), so even if the object is RADAR stealthy, it can still be detected via LIDAR even at night. LIDAR is just a different electromagnetic frequency band than microwave band RADAR. Sonic detectors for aircraft engines have been used since WWII. That technology has been much improved since then, especially with use of computers for acoustic filtering and analyses. Can now determine range, bearing, and elevation with just a single acoustic system (although multiple sites provide better accuracy). A similar acoustic system on which you can easily find information is "Shotspotter" used by many cities to detect and locate gunshots.

The difference between the US and Europe regarding UL flying is staggering. The European twin-seater ultralight Blackwing has a max speed of 170 kts, retractable landing gears, a max allowed load factor of 12G and a max climb speed of 1600 ft/min. It most certainly requires a medical and a UL pilot license. US microlights are called "trikes" or "paragliders" in Europe, but they still require a license. No free flying over here.

(French for close shave, a term French pilots used for buzzing the field.) It used the Benson's "fuselage" such as it was, and had a strutted fixed wing. I got to fly it and write a pilot report about it, when I was writing for Air Progress Magazine in the 70s.

Let me emphasize how important it is to learn from someone that actually knows how to teach flying. Before I got my CFI, another pilot friend of mine that was also a commercial pilot and was also working on his CFI had ultralights that he rented out. He taught people the basics and they went flying. He had four of them and inside of about two months, all four were crashed in fatal accidents. While it may sound fun and the freedom seems cool, for crying out loud, you cannot fly safely without instruction!

ultrlights have less inertia than conventional Gen Aviation aircraft and their flight envelope is a lot smaller so you have to treat them with respect and always be prepared for an engine failure because the lack of inertia means when the engine cuts you have to push the nose forward to maintain flying spead and to keep airflow across the wings. On take off land with an engine failure then fly straight ahead or limit turns to 30 degress from straght ahead and never never try to turn back. If you ignore this advice, you should at least get a ballistic parachute attached then no problem if you are over 150 feet.

Your life is worth the cost of training. Get a instructor and fly a cessna 150 for ten hours. Costs about 60 an hour plus fuel.. . you will learn very necessary skills in the first ten hours that might save your life in a ultra.. never buy a single surface wing ultra.. Blue skys and good luck.. very cool aircraft!

Oh the Great lovely easy to fly Cessna 150 / 152. I did my trading on both models and six of the types. You can land Full flap main wheels at start of the piano keys and stop at the end of. I could do that no matter what weather conductions every landing around speed 44. The 150 / 152 Are Excellent training aircraft and for touring, such a real pleasure to fly. On my GFT flight the Examiner said that was the Best GFT I have ever had. A I have to Trophy Excellent Pass GFT. So Thank you Cessna for producing superb aircraft. Keep up your Brilliance. You Cannot go wrong buying a Cessna 150 / 152 / 172. Happy landings to all. JB. East Surrey, UK.

Sure people can strap 3 tanks onto themselves and roll overboard, and they will die. The only reason somebody would think a pilot would not need proper instruction is if they didn't want to learn how to land. 911 anyone??? If you can't see the difference between sailing/ swimming and flying an aircraft then you are to stupid to respond to. Why am I wasting my time Mohammed?

joseph purdy Most ultralights are limited to 250lbs for the pilot or less. The Experimental/LSA class Hummel H5 (big brother to the UltraCruiser) will carry a 300lbs 6’2” pilot. It’s fairly easy to get an LSA license.

Those, are ultralights. Unless you save and invest until you're super old and THEN buy a plane or two, you're just gonna have to learn how to use ultralights. It's physically less plane for the same, and arguably better, experience of flight. All paramotor pilots say it's much more interactive than flying their cessnas because there isn't a massive fuselage blocking 70% of what you are trying to see, plus you feel wind, hear the sounds from below, and are much cheaper to fuel/repair/replace. Paramotors and ultralights are the way forward, especially with today's innovations!

I went to Oshkosh one time, and it was in the 80's, after the Voyager had made it's non-stop circumnavigation. Jeana Yeager gave a talk about the trip, so I expect it must have been 1987. Anyway, there was a plane there on display that looked like a baby C-130. I'm pretty sure it was powered by four Rotax engines and was called the Mosquito. I haven't been able to find any more information about it. Are you familiar with the plane? There also used to be an ultralight from a company in, iirc, the little town of South Webster, Ohio. It was designed to look like a Piper Cub. They made a couple of variations of it. Ring any bells?

Pretty sure I found the South Webster ultralight: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher_FP-101 Still haven't found any leads on the baby cargo plane. I've never seen any other small plane remotely like it. If someone had a show guide/exhibitor's list for Oshkosh '87, that might answer the question about who made it.
