helno posted:Technically the Lazair fits in under Far 103 but I will be using an SFOC that allows Canadian ultralights to fly into the states. I was asking in terms of being able to fly during oshkosh... is there any capacity to just go for a quick flight? It seems like it would be way too busy to do much flying.

Hello, has anyone finished building my cri-cri yet?

helno posted:I am in Kincardine Ontario. I would be selling the Lazair with it's trailer I would hope to get around $4500 for them both. I'm fantasizing about it. Probably wouldn't be prudent. I wonder if it would fit in the hangar with my 172.... That said, what you said earlier about landing being hairy with the slightest crosswind is turning me off a bit. There's almost always a crosswind at my airport and we have an asphalt runway. There are a couple of long grass "taxiways" that they may also allow for use in landing, but the crosswind on those would usually be worse. What's the recommended way to get into flying something like a Lazair when there is no possibility of dual instruction? I guess it's trial by fire.

I'm pretty sure older Quicksilvers and many other ultralights have no ailerons, but they have elevators.

edmund745 posted:Yea that is what I mean. Which would be a "1-axis control aircraft", since they count control 'surfaces' and so they don't count the throttle.... Stalling while uncoordinated is the cause of spins. GA accidents are not mostly due to engine failure. Reducing control axes seems like a really misguided way to try to improve safety. Note that 2-axis ultralights have a very difficult time with even a light crosswind, for example.

edmund745 posted:It's not my pet theory; powered parachutes have been flying around on single-axis control for ~33 years. What is the point of all this? This is not a thread for kids with aspergers to tell us about their amazing new theories on a subject for which they have exactly zero training or foundation while summarily dismissing anyone with the same.

helno posted:I've never specifically tried to get best glide for distance because I move so slow it is pretty meaningless. Minimum sink is around 28 mph so best glide would be a few mph faster. For a second I thought this meant minimum unpowered descent rate was 28mph (2464fpm)

Are certified aircraft allowed in this thread?
