    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.

    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.

    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!

      @@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.

    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.
