In Canada, the Challenger 2 is classified as an ultralight. We don't have any classification that allows flight without a license. Even a powered parachute requires an "ultralight pilot permit, which consists mostly of the law, regulations, and basic flight skills. It prevents people from doing stupid things, that can create a hazard, and you can never carry passengers or fly into controlled airspace. Then we have the RPP (Recreational Pilot Permit) which is almost like the full PPL, but you can not fly at night, IMC, and carry only 1 passenger. You can fly anywhere, even into very busy controlled airspace, as all of that is covered in the course. But the instrument portion under the hood and a few other modules are not done because this is for people who want to fly, but have no intention of ever becoming anything other than a recreational pilot. I often get some grief from people saying "a Challenger 2 not an ultralight", but here in the great white north, it is. And you must hold at a minimum of an Ultralight Pilot Permit to fly the Challenger 2, with all the restrictions with that "permit".
@challenger2ultralightadventure yea I like the term ultralight inspired aircraft or fat ultralight but everyone here argues over it I just don't care it says experimental on the side so hey it is what it is lol. Thanks for watching
Not to mention the rules around how the Challenger is registered in Canada - Basic vs Advanced. Same plane. Two different registration status' and rulesets.
I'm finishing up my RPP. Makes way more sense than Ultralight Permit and even Private Pilot, honestly.
@VerticalSpeed1987 good job! Can't wait for more flying content from you!
Very nice dude!
@@TheMainePilot thanks bro!
Nice video! Would be nice to see a video of stalls in the turn, as well as cross controlled stalls.
@@MXZ-or6nk okay I will get it done this fall! Thanks for watching
Im gonna need one of those fuel bags.
@LightSportBrosCal they are so awesome! And over built! Click the link in the description if you do buy one please!
Interesting, very easy stall tendency.
@@62heliman indeed
Awesome content. You are giving me lots of confidence jumping into my Challenger here soon. Finishing up pilot permit - I think my first foray into my Challenger will be on skiis this winter.
@VerticalSpeed1987 awesome I love hearing that! Keep us updated on your progress! I assume you're in Canada?

Another great video! It gave me a feel of trying stall in summer time. I have not tried it in the summer yet. I just have not been comfortable to try as my Challenger always gets tossed around with thermals. I have done some stall practices in the winter at below freezing temperature. I was around 5500 ASL (field elevation here is around 3400 ASL) and wind was dead calm. The stall speed was around 35 mph. It was uneventful and easy to recover like you mentioned.
@DreamChaser1903 awesome I'm gonna remake this video in the winter! It will be way better! Thank you for watching
Rite at sunrise before the sun heats up the ground
I have the Yaesu FTA-450. Great radio. I picked it up on sale with the rechargeable battery, headset adapter, alkaline battery tray for around $200. It takes a few minutes to understand programming favorites and setting up scans for all channels, or stored memory channels. The more you use it the easier it is to remember the setup - and to be able to find the squelch button by feel.
In my area (a little further west) there is almost never any chatter on "fingers" (123.45).
When it comes to stalls, the most surprising is the accelerated stall on the base to final turn. Especially if the pilot is trying to correct an overshoot from a too-long base leg. Know how your stall speed is affected by bank angle!
@@bradrobinhancock8491 yea mine grew on me but it took a year or two lol
@@TheJonjonj I have the Yaesu 850. Pretty cool piece of kit. Has GPS, COG, SOG, altitude, nearest airport, and really cool feature for travelling cross country, switching between channels if you have your enroute stations programmed, just rotate through the dial, alphabetical, makes it super easy to get to the local airport channel,
Does dual channel as well. Also does ILS, VOR. (great backup if you graduate to GA planes)
Challenger stalls are so easy.
I flew Thunderbird and Challenger.
Thunderbird drop like a bag of cement and right wing drop.
Challenger is one of the safest ultralights to fly.
What is that little rv window crank located above your head do?
That's the flaperons trim! Nose up or down in level flight!
Have you ever done a falling leaf?
@alkempton1512 in a 172 I have! In my next stall video I will do them! Thanks for your continued support
@@TheJonjonj nice,I have in the 150c but never in the challenger
@alkempton1512 I didn't even think about it but as you could see the turbulence wasn't working for me
@@TheJonjonj definitely not a good day to mess around
Can I purchase a Challenger kit direct from factory?
Also the latest prices.
I am from South Africa
@johnpowell1952 I'm not 100% sure but on Facebook look up Mike Harrison he is the go to guy! I believe the cost was too high so they took a break.
I couldn't stall mine
@rrh2918 sounds like a good thing lol! Thanks for watching
These are the BEST little planes money can buy, in my opinion.
You end up with the stick in your gut, nose high with a 300 feet a minute descent, it wont break, it just sort of mushes along. Even power on stalls are a non event.
My guy is pleading for likes, hook the man up.
@wisdomspitter7688 😆 it's the only way you can build a channel! I hate asking but I appreciate when people do! Thanks man
