Who doesn't want to fly right? With all the advantages, looking for an ultralight aircraft for sale may be a great experience or a terrible one depending on how you approach it. Knowing what you're getting into ahead of time can, at a minimum, save you some hassle, and in the long run save you time money, heartache (and possibly bodily injury). So what is it about ultralights that seems so appealing. One of the more attractive things about them has to do with their almost non-existent barrier to entry. For instance, training can be completed in a couple of days, and in actuality, you don't need a license to fly them at all. It's not as easy as jumping in the seat and starting the engine; You should still take some lessons. Another plus is that with many of them, you can fold them up and put them in the back of your SUV, or truck, and take them anywhere. Finally, there are lots of enthusiasts to help you get the hang of reassembling and flying your ultralight. So what exactly IS an ultralight aircraft? Ultralights are not allowed to carry more than one person or five gallons of gas. The maximum weight for the ultralight is 254 pounds. Ultralights are not allowed to go faster than 55 knots.

It doesn't require a license to fly as mentioned earlier, but you must fly it while the sun is out, and you can't fly over a city or town (anywhere there are homes and businesses). You also have several types of ultralight to choose from, including powered hang gliders, trikes, gyroplanes, and even hot air balloon ultralights. A few things to look for when buying: -Needs to be a single seater, no exceptions. -Castle nuts and pins should be used to prevent vibration wear. -Make sure the rudder and pedal mechanism is well-built and the aircraft is rust-free. -The propeller should be able to spin without hitting any parts of the ultralight. -The craft should fly straight.
