I'd love to get into ultralights and the Lazair looks perfect. Are there really no more new kits to build? Replicas? Scratch build plans? Similar ultralights? I wish more were available for sale in the US.

There are quite a few out there as they made a ton but no more kits since the early 80's.

I met Gene the guy behind this project this summer. He is working on producing an updated version.

Other similar aircraft are available as kits.

If you like working with wood these guys make great kits. (my Uncle makes fiberglass parts for them)

This is great. I absolutely love the Fisher biplanes. The FP-404 looks fantastic. It's a real shame that literally the day I learn about the company they decide to no longer sell kits. I've built wooden RC planes before and I imagine that these kits are very similar - only larger. Would be a lot of fun.

I'll keep my eyes open for Lazairs for sale. The others just aren't grabbing my attention, I'm afraid.

That's awesome. A Challenger on floats looks great.
