What Is Islam? Islam is not just another religion. It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him

Your looking at is the Weedhopper the way it came from the factory I have made a-lot of modifications & upgrades. I still use wires as lateral stiffeners too the bottom of the bantam. There are a lot of people in my Weedhopper group who have switched to tubing & some who have not. I have changed the attachment points and no longer get ground shake. Check out some of my newer videos! and thanks for the feed-back.

No I haven't had any problems, in flight the entire empennage is vary stable and responsive. The reason it shakes on the ground is the horizontal stabilizer is 8 feet wide, and the Weedhopper has a looseness designed into it on per-pus. The flex is meant to be there.

I love ultralights, and have built similar one in scale , my first one, for trying to keep the model lightweight did not have tail reinforcements and it flexed like your real one does in the video. But I had trouble controlling the model and eventually I crashed a few times until the tail section was braced properly. Have you had any issues with tail control, that flex and looks like it is not totaly at right angles wih the wing, looks scary.

Your Weedhopper looks identical to the one I bought back in 1999, only mine had a Rotax 277, which was a very grossly underpowered engine. "The moped of the sky" is how I referred to it. I'm now in the process of purchasing a Paraplane from a fellow over in Kentucky, and I absolutely cannot wait to get it!! I live in the Smoky's, and can't wait to view them from the air.

If you look at the other videos I put up you'll see me flying with the new engine- a 440 Kawasaki.This motor has over twice the thrust,my buddy can take-off in about 50 feet. He's over 220 LBs
