Ultra lites
Ultra lites...those little...ummmm....kinda like a copter/ plane/hang-glider dealies....(What the hell are they anyway?)
Gawd that looks like fun, some guy around here has one and buzzes around in it, it looks like a blast flying low in the open air...not sure of the safety of them, but dammit...looks like sooo much fun!

Re: Ultra lites

Re: Ultra lites
They look like a blast! Wow, and you've actually flown in one!!
Ash, I'm gonna have to google up that gyro copter thing...anything with "gyro" in it has got to be something else!

Used to go to an airshow in Oshgosh, Wisconsin when growing up. All kinds of planes there including the ultra lite, gyrocopters, and one with a parachute above and a rather large fan in the back (sorry forget the real name)

Re: Ultra lites
They were invented by a lazy guy who didn't want to climb a mountian set it up and jump off...(I know, I'll add a motor and wheels, yea that'll do it...Now all I need is to think of how I'm gonna get someone to pull the rip-cord on this thing and Mr. Ultra-Lazy can sail away into the clear-blue sky...)
