Just like the driver's license.
Unless you are using it for commercial use. You have the right to freely travel without fear of being molested of that right and to use your personal property and to be secure in your personal property.
On that Phantom X-1, the announcer said 447-rotax but the video shows 477-rotax.
I taught myself to fly with a Quicksilver MX. Liked it so much that I bought the newer GT500. Actually flew it from central VA to Kitty Hawk, NC one day and eventually used it to get my GA license. Sat in a hanger for 30 years while I traveled America in a Cessna 206. Those days are done so I’m restoring the Quicksilver so grandpaw can get one last thrill. I will say, the Jetson One sure looks fun.
Id love to be able to afford one. I was afraid of the dsrn things when I was able to get around and had money before my spinal cord injury but now after suffering such a tragic injury, nothing scares me and id love to be able to fly
Your photos and descriptions are way off on several models and you are flat out wrong on some models. Your title is misleading and wrong. No two seat aircraft can be flown without a license.

Either you open your eyes to see colours or the colours with come flying to you.
Not sure where you got your information, but you have to have a license to fly light sport. It's an abridged version of a GA license and the requirements are lighter, but it comes with restrictions. Also, FAR103 (ultralights), and light sport are two different categories. And, as noted by others, you always have to have a license if there is more than one seat in the aircraft.
The challenger can be built with one or two seats. A Challenger with one seat, under 254Lb empty may be a part 103 no license aircraft. No Challenger with 2 seats can be legally flown without a pilot license(sport pilot or otherwise). Part 103 states: "no passengers allowed".
Unless you're an ultralight instructor , also I went down in a Challenge with a student , structural failure, my student had a tiny scratch on her foot the plane was toast. ....
This channel takes its name seriously. Way beyond facts
@@sailingcapedissappointment2012 tiny scratch on her foot Must have been a Good Girl ??
Phantom and it was a joy. A good friend built it and allowed me to fly it. It illustrated the value of short field take off and the powerful Rotax performance was amazing. His ultralight was equipped with a Ballistic shute. It had a +9-7 airframe and I always felt safe.
This is such a fascinating topic. Thank you. I could see a whole miniseries documentary on this topic covering the design, building, first-hand experience in assembling one. I'll bet there's a lot of anecdotal accounts. I saw one news clip about a farmer who would fly his ultralite in the morning before work. The vistas over the treetops were incredible. What a nice way to start a day!
In the USA FAR 103 ultralights, which do not require a license, are limited to 1 seat, 254 lbs empty, 5 gal, and top speed of 63 mph. Light Sport aircraft are another category that DO REQUIRE A LICENSE and are limited to 2 seats, 1320 lbs empty, and a top speed of 138 mph. This video includes planes that do require a license. In particular the Challenger which I happen to own and fly.
Hi KB3M, thanks for your comment. And sorry that we have included some airplanes that are not under the part 103. Hope you enjoyed the video 🙂
Mis-information. Why is this video still posted on youtube?
My brother owns a Challenger. He's taken me up in it quite a few times, and I have to admit, the first time was a bit nerve-racking, but once I got out of the fear of the thing just falling out of the sky, it was alot of fun. Personally, im not all that interested in flying, or piloting a aircraft, but I do enjoy the riding along quite a bit.
I fly RC Aircraft for the last 25 years. Have built Acrobatic to Jets (Electric) and some Helicopters too. Love the RC stuff. Can crash with no damage to self!! LOL! Got to fly an Extra 330 full size once, my Daughter bought me a 2 hour flight experience. It was a blast. I got to do rolls loops and some high G pullout dives. What a blast to say the least. Best gift EVER Nessa! 😉
The most impressive is that Hummelcruiser. All aluminum, really cool. Expensive though considering the FAR103 performance limitations. Two really nice 103 legal planes you left out are the Mini Max 103 and the Fisher FP303. Nice, capable planes and available on the used market for really attractive prices. Flying isn't like driving and without some training induced muscle memory you will most likely die if you try to fly w/o training.
Love the KOLB, I personally own the FireStar and love flying this aircraft.
Some of these ultra lights are just a little too fragile looking for me to have the confidence to fly them - BUT - several of these were also extremely tempting to operate and looked incredibly sturdy and trustworthy...I had no idea license-free flying could look so cool and inspiring...thanks for sharing all of these !!
I flew Lazair's for years on floats and skis. They are truly wonderful and amazing aircraft.
Great to see this category of aviation alive and well. In the UK, the first ultralight I flew was a single seat modified hang glider in a "Hanging Basket" Configuration.
Being a fixed wing pilot, it's one of the few times that I've been "Up there, wishing I was down here"! 🤔
Hi Nigel Heaton, thanks for your comment. Hope you enjoyed the video 😊
Yeah, it's great. I know that there are no stupid people out there, but I think it might be prudent to add that whilst you might not need a licence to fly this category of aircraft, a modicum of training might be worthwhile! 🤔
@@NigelHeaton training is for pu**y's. Trial and error is always the better way to learn. If you fail, dust yourself off and give it another go. Thats the best advice I ever got, and I still live by it even after the accident.

@@NigelHeaton Yeah. There's quite a bit to know. Weather, basic flight maneuvers, what airspace to stay in or out of, how not to be danger to the people on the ground, communication stuff, just to name the basics.
At least one can use one of the common nav apps to keep from getting lost.
I think one of the best ultralight aircraft ever was the Pterodactyl P-Ascender. It was built on a double-surface, swept wing, hang-glider, with wing-tip rudders. It had a pusher prop, powered by a Cuyuna 30hp engine, with a 2:1 reduction gear and a full flying canard in the front, instead of an elevator, in the rear. This configuration was almost impossible to stall. In a 15mph wind, at full throttle, it could climb vertical. The glide ratio was 9:1. You could get up to cloud base, cut the engine and spend the whole afternoon up there, working thermals. The service ceiling was 18,000 feet. Turning was accomplished by turning one of the wingtip rudders. That would slow that wing. This would yaw the craft, bringing the opposing swept wing more directly into the wind, creating more lift on that wing, while reducing the angle of attack of the wing with the turned rudder, creating less lift. The craft would then bank in the direction of the turned rudder. In its earlier iteration, there were no ailerons. Just wingtip rudders and canard. Later versions implemented ailerons, which helped in cross-wind landings. In a heavy cross-wind, I had to come in at just barely above stall speed, yawed at maybe up to 20 degrees, depending on wind, and at exactly two feet, cut power, yaw the craft back into line with the runway. That yaw would slow the craft below stall, but I would give the canard a momentary up angle, to insure the stall. In that half second, I would touch down and push the canard full down. It took a couple of bumpy landings to get the process down. But after that, it was a piece of cake. I would have liked to have had the version with ailerons, but there was very little I couldn't do, without them. It was said to have a 75 foot take-off roll. However, it was capable of a much shorter roll, if you were facing directly into the wind, braked hard, and throttled up in place. I could take off across a runway, in less than 50 feet, with a 10mph wind and often had to, at the place I often flew. The original Pterodactyl had not canard and was controlled by pushing or pulling a control bar, changing your center of gravity, like a hang glider. The p-Traveler added the canard. The P-Ascender added the reduction gear and a larger, 54 inch prop. There were several versions of the P-Ascender. I added fiberglass rear landing gear to mine. That gear later became standard on newer P-Ascenders. The whole thing folded up small enough that I could carry it on top of aToyota Celica. Oh, yes. It was capable of a loop, though I would not advise it. The seat was a hammock-style, so a loop required additional pilot retention measures. Now that I'm older, I'm considering buying a rotorcraft of some sort.
I prefer the Flying Flea!!😁 Have you heard of it??
Because you're older it's the very time you should have more sense and NOT buy one, especially if there are people who love you and moreover, depend on you!
Owned a quicksilver with a 40/477 and pontoons, great aircraft for the price, great for high lake fishing and was a member of search and rescue.
“What models have you DRIVEN?” 🤔🤔🤔
You fly planes, you don’t drive them
RC :P, fun to crash.. no license needed
I think g4 is the best I’ve done
Airforce pilots of the Thunderbolt A-10 all DRIVE that plane. Never underestimate culture.
All good to me
in 1980 in Manitoba Canada I helped build (with my cousin Ted P. and Friend Alan H) and test fly 22 Quicksilvers. .which Al got From Motorized Gliders of Iowa From Dale K sadly years ago (Dale was killed while testing new equipment).. we originally used Chrysler go cart engines. .but after mufflers falling off and a rod going out the side of a block during take off we switched to 100cc Yamaha Engines. they were fun to fly. .during this time, after numerous failed landing gear, and wheels ,I developed a spring type landing gear to replace the fragile bike wheels and bungy cord landing set up. . we gave the Idea and plans to Dale and he used it on US Military gliders he sold.. Sadly our Friend who had started the Business and we worked with training people to fly them. .passed away 3 weeks ago. .It was Fun Al you and Dale now have real wings..
Over coming your fears, and being in. Control of leaving the ground is life changing!!
So is learning to use proper grammar and punctuation.

I worked For Eipper Formance in the early 80's in San Marcos, then moved to Borrego and flew the weight shift QuickSilver for about a year at Ocotilla Wells, my last flight was over the hills behind Palomar college in San Marcos. Probably couldn't get away with that now that it has all been developed, but those were good times.
The Fly Nano is ideal for "wing in ground effect"use. Giving an aircraft extended range and economy is exceptional. Folding wings would be preferable.
Clickbait headline "You Can Fly WITHOUT a License" is misleading
Some of these aircraft do require a pilot licence.
LSA (Light Sport Aircraft) and FAR Part 103 Ultralight Aircraft are different.
FAR Part 103 Ultralight aircraft do not require a pilot licence but it is common sense to take flight training to solo standard before attempting to fly them.
> Part 103 Ultralight need to meet these requirements:
Single Seat up to 254 pounds empty weight. 5 US gallons max.
Maximum level speed of 55 knots, (63.3 mph)
Less than 55 knots calibrated airspeed at full power in level flight
Stall speed of not more than 24 knots (27.6 mph)
Pilot License is not mandatory.
Thanks for clarifying, as someone who just discovered ultralights one week ago, and learning the FAA rules, it's confusing when I see videos where they show double seated aircraft and it confuses me because I'm like isn't that illegal?
More than half of these planes need a license. .. Click bait is the norm now.. Along with censoring free speech..
Google Smoogle, Communist..
Two seat Part 103 ultralights used to be legal for training purposes, but that ended in January of 2008. Since they weigh more than the 254 pound limit, they had to be transitioned to E-LSA (Experimental light-sport aircraft).
@@gsn794 , The never ending regulations . .
All I need is to know how to fly it, the license dosn't mean shit to me.
The Nanos seems a nice fit, as here in Minnesota, water is in abundance most of the year.
Hi Fireforeffect, thanks for your comment. Hope you enjoyed the video 🙂
I have flown (and crashed) a Lazair Mk 1 (with Pioneer chainsaw engines) and a Challenger UL. I liked the Challenger a lot. The electric conversions of the Lazair are really super extension for this a/c. But my choice would be the electric Finnish UL hands down!
Probably very expensive though
I don't know if this is a stupid question because I don't know much on planes but how far can you fly it?
Did you queef your panties?
Electric?! Wtf!?
Remind me not to fly with you😂
I used to own a Chotia double surfaced wing weedhopper. So much fun!
When I first flew a microlight (UK term) in the UK in the early 80s, no licence was required. That soon changed. A pilot’s license group D was required along with airworthiness checks on the aircraft. My aircraft was an Eipper MX2. I also flew an MX1 on floats from Lake Windermere. Happy days.
Hi Richard Dover, thanks for your comment. Are you still flying? Hope you enjoyed the video 🙂
These are pretty cool! My dad knows a special equation. All these vehicles look very good. I can't decide! I'll just wait until I grow up.
Hi SR LS, thanks so much for your comment. It awesome that your always commenting on my videos. Hope you enjoyed the video 🙂
Range/air time (yes it will always vary based on flying habits) is still useful information.
I like the Mosquito Light! (2nd) vertical takeoff!
I watched a new Ultralight owner, who equated 'no license' = 'no training' required. He 'attempted' 3 takeoffs, the 3rd one got him 20 feet into the air, whereupon he crashed into treetops and totaled his new aircraft. Only injury was to his wallet, $9K gone in 10 minutes.
Hi Paul Moffat, thanks for your comment. Hope you enjoyed the video 😊
Sounds like a ultralight simulator would have been helpful.... similar to RC simulator; uses PC, has feet & stick controls.... 'crash ' as many times as necessary, until getting the hang of it....
As dad, a WW2 fighter pilot said to me "if it feels good, go for it, if not, let's go to lunch.
@@xzqzq you can find many online piloting courses that use the Microsoft Flight Simulator for their courses. With it, students can learn the proper radio procedure at airports, how to fill out and file a flight plan. You can’t check engine oil level or do a walk around but where and how are also covered.
Many of these online pilot’s courses actually have group flights starting at and going to almost anywhere on the planet in almost every plane ever made.
Looking elsewhere online you can find out how to build a set-up that turns your computer into a flight simulator that you sit in and use rudder petals, brakes, throttle as well as every possible dash configuration, depending on how much you are willing to spend (of course).
The Light Sport category requires a license. It's the ultralight category that does not, which is significantly restricted in capabilities.
Once owned a Lazair(1981 vintage) but never had an airport to take off from and crashed before I got to use it for any length of time. That was back in 2003 around Markdale, Ontario, Canada.
My brother-in-law and I built an ultralight aircraft back in the early eighties. Never fished it. Still have the frame, wings ,Rotax engine(new) and prop. It was a design from Mitchel Wing . I still have those plans and the original advertisements of a lot of those ultralights. There is a Mitchel Wing ( hanging from the ceiling) at the Tucson AZ. Air Museum.
Hi Jerryl Vega, thanks for your comment. Hope you enjoyed the video 🙂
You may wish to do a bit of research. Any two seat aircraft requires a license. So the two place Quad City Challenger you said didn't, actually does require a license.
Fly Nano is the best one for me.
That design is so sleek.
Hi Maria D.C., thanks for your comment. Hope you enjoyed the video 😊
all ya need is 40k
Ooooo.... I like the design of Hummel Ultracruiser. 🤩🤩
The Phantom is hands down the best and strongest UL available. 9.9g loading with full span ailerons the handling is incredible! The cockpit and windshield makes it very comfortable to fly. The Flight Star is also an incredible UL and should have been mentioned. If you like to do loops, spins, snap rolls and really have fun these are the two best ultralights,,,, period. Greg Black
I've had 3 ultralights.. A Hummer, Rotec Rally Sport (the first aerobatic ultralight) and a 2 place Rotec Rally 3, licensed as a homebuilt. Ultralights are fun to fly, but those 2 cycle engines WILL quit on you. I've had 2 engine failures! I'd love to have another, since I lost my medical a few years ago. Losing the engine isn't that big a deal as long as you fly high enough to locate a place to land..
Only have one flying saucer :(
Get a lazair. It has 2
2 strokes are lighter and have far less moving parts. More reliable in my opinion if maintained and oil mix is correct. Shorter life span though. But a rebuild is normally only hone and new rings. Cheap
Were you flying when your engine failed on you?? Also can I come hang out at your place for a day? XDDD
In the U.S. part 103 (ultralight) don't require a license (254lbs max no fuel, day flight, solo, 5gal fuel max, 55knots max, and 25knots stall)
but light sport is a median license (day flight, 2place max, over 5gal fuel required for aircraft that exceed 103
Hi mrmcclung, thanks for your comment
What do you mean 2place max? Do you mean 2 person seated max? And thanks for clarifying, I just discovered ultralights last week and I read the simple and easy to understand FAA rules (or at least I thought) about ultralight requirements and so it confuses me so much when a number of youtube channels post aircraft that have 2 seats (which goes against the FAA definition of an ultralight).
@@vbideogaming , any aircraft with 2 seats requires a minimum of a Sport Pilot license (in USA). Regardless of weight.
@@moose7472 Thanks for the info. Does that mean the vehicle with 2 seats is still counted as an ultralight itself but it needs a license? Do you recommened any resources for these questions?
@@vbideogaming anything with 2 seats must be Light Sport (exception is hang gliders and paramotor/glider)
Excellent video and very helpful. I will be flying one of these or an aircraft similar to them.
Cessna 150, 152, 177, 178, 182, Piper Pa140, Tomahawk, PA161, PA181. I would love to give every one of those a try, and maybe take the Hummel home.
For me personally, it's not a matter of "maybe" or "possibly", I KNOW I would crash and burn if I tried flying one of those contraptions...sounds fun in theory though! If I did try flying a light aircraft, I'd try a paramotor. They look super fun to fly!
Besides air speed, you should always mention the range of an aircraft.
Totally agreed. I mean isn't that super important?
@@jayknight139 id say the range is more important than speed
It would be a great idea to cover the flynano in solar skin. A great bug out vehicle. Fly 200 miles. Camp for 3 days while it charges back up! With technology improving maybe 1-2 days.
I like what you're talking abou,t I dig it, let's build it!
What "solar skin"? There is no such thing. Photovoltaic panels are not "skins" and they are not particularly lightweight.
As for the water- launched plane, make sure you have life jacket, flares and all other USCG required equipment. I knew a marine patrol cop who went out of his way to bust seaplanes that landed in our area that weren't carrying BOAT stuff.
Hi michael Conway, thanks for your comment. Hope you enjoyed the video 😊
They should've just flew away.
Lmao that's like a cop on a bicycle trying to pull over a guy on a motorcycle
As others have already commented, some of the information here is false. Most notably, Light Sport Aircraft and Part 103 Ultralights are not the same. If you plan to get into ultralight flying, where no license is required, be distrustful of internet sources and always verify your compliance to the 254lb weight limit and the rest of Part 103 of the Federal Aviation Regulations.
and you would have to be an idiot not to get at least 30 hrs of training and take ground school prior to flying one of these. I am commercially rated. Trust me. Flying is easy...I got paid to know what to do when something went wrong.
@@stevemyers2092 I agree. I also have a Commercial license and would never, ever recommend that anyone take to the air without some training. Even powered parachute pilots can get into big trouble if they don't know the limitations of their aircraft.
@@stevemyers2092 30 hours sounds a bit much. I soloed a 152 at just under 5 hours. But I understood flight pretty good before I started flying real planes, I had flown a lot of rc planes.
@@stevemyers2092 Well said!
Although a Pilots License is not mandatory to fly a Part 103 Ultralight in the US, it does make sense to take training to solo standard.
What is solo standard?
@@KaletheQuick you will reach solo standard when you have taken your first solo flight. ie. a flight on your own without an instructor.
@@BlueMax333 oh, so that's just a normal license but at the progression point where you can fly alone?
@@KaletheQuick when you think you won't kill yourself. I'm a pilot Cessna 172 landing is the only issue. I take everyone up and say. It's all you. I'll make sure they don't kill me just like a woman easy strokes be gentle landing I definitely make sure you understand what lift is and a stall. Stall speed is where it will fall out of the sky so you coming in above that and gradually get to stall and when you do you best be a few inches above ground or opps a bouncy landing
No , just start it up and go
#8 Quad city challenger would be my pik...love it...holds 2 people...100 miles per hour...
Check out the PPC Ultralight!
For those who don't like to fly w/o a parachute: P.owered P.ara C.hute - that's its wing, always deployed.
Good for 1 - 1Ø,ØØØ ft
(The 2 seater requires a sports pilot license, however)
I remember Popular Science or Mechanics that had plans in them to build an experimental aircraft using a VW engine out of a "Bug". That was back in the '60s or '70s. I think you could order the plans.
I recall those. The VW Bug engine was an ideal aviation power plant. Unfortunately it takes up nearly all of the ultralight weight limit. You needed a license to fly those.
The plane you are talking about was the KR-1. It was advertised to cost $500 to build. It was designed by Ken Rand.
Lots of incorrect information in this video.
Well they do claim to be "Beyond Facts"
@@jamesarnold2851 Here's a starter, they repeatedly say a vehicle has no windshield, while showing pictures of the windshield at least twice.
The best dreams i've ever had are the flying ones and i've had a lot. I even had one where I played an entire game of quidditch, it was freaking wild. I don't know how my brain does it but it creates the most vivid places and for some reason knows how certain physics I have no experience with works, or at least gets it close to a believable approximation.
I own a 1983 Lazair with factory enclosure and many updates from the factory. I have had it since new. I built a trailer and hanger for it as well.
So what is it like?
To inform the non aviation public, in the United States, technically, the only aircraft categorized by the FAA that can be flown without a license is an “ultralight” aircraft that is regulated in the FAR’s under part 103. Anything that falls outside of that specification requires some form of license issued by the FAA depending on the weight, speed and mission of the aircraft and pilot, e.g. private pilot, recreational or sport-pilot.
Yes.
Coming back from that after two years now into 2023 and entering 2024 is that still in effect?
I was under the impression experimental requires no license if it is a coniderably different design
Unless the ultralight rules have changed, once you add a second seat it's no longer considered an ultralight and is considered an experimental aircraft requiring a license. It's been many years since I've looked into the tough. They may fall under Light Sport requiring only a drivers license if I remember correctly.
For light sport aircraft, you need a sport pilot license, which is somewhat more restricitve than a private pilot license. The big advantage is that your drivers license is your medical certificate.
a license is when the government takes your freedoms away and sells it back to you.
@@goodgoyim9459 or to prevent a crack head from flying a plane.
Great video! Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
I'm a Maxair person I learnt to fly in one in 1990 good feed back from the controls
Only those ultralights weighing less than 254 pounds, and meeting the other criteria of Part 103 can be flown without a license. The Quad City Challenger definitely does NOT make the weight, and requires a license to fly.
For the least expensive and most versatile option, that fits in your vehicle: Power Paraglider (PPG) 😉
No those things are zero wind machines that Just don't look very safe or fun..
I love my ICON A5. It takes off and lands on a runway and or water. It also has a Ducati engine and can reach an altitude of 12,000 ft.
Too bad they're almost $400k compared to 1/10th or less of that for the planes on this list. I love the A5, but the price is bananas.
A Carpenter, called Frost in Saundersfoot, Wales patented and flew a flying machine in 1894/5.
You keep saying "aircrafts" when stating it in plural form.
"Aircraft" is both the singular AND plural of "aircraft."
Other than that, great video compilation!
The moskito cones with the option of a turbine engine. You can build turbine time while in an ultralight helicopter.
Hi Charles Adair, thanks for your comment. Hope you enjoyed the video 😊
Ive read that if one chooses the Turbine engine that automatically disqualifies you for not needing license....dont know why
Well, perhaps you can log the hours, but they aren't quality hours. Building time is more than just faffing around in the air. It's about learning responsibility, procedures, communication, CRM, basically it's on-the-job training. You won't learn any of these in your home built helo. Do give it a try, and see if you can persuade any employer to hire you.
Remember, there are no shortcuts.
I like the polished alloy mini plane but would like the amphibious one . Thanks 🇦🇺🙏🏼
I own the Hummel ultracruiser it is so much fun and really simple to learn I got it for my 18 birthday because growing up I always wanted to fly and this is how my parents granted my wish I’m 22 now and it flys like I just got it
lucky. for my 18th birthday i had to get a job...
Jobs are scarce when you busy flying solo. Would be my choice Hummel cruiser.
You need to check your facts light Sport and 103 Aviation are two different areas you can only fly far 103 without a license this means nothing over 245 lb no more than one seat and no more than 5 gallons of gas and no more than 65 knots
Empty weight no more than 254 pounds. Max level speed 55 knots.
That’s why their name is “beyond facts.”
From what can remember from my FARS class, anything that consumes 5 gal of fuel or less, and weighs 250 lbs or less is classified as an ultra light and doesn’t require an official pilots license due to the fact, under these circumstances, it’s not an aircraft
LSA requires a sport pilot certificate or higher. Ultralight and LSA are very different.
okay.. i have to pause to comment cuz.... that fly nano..seriously. wow incredible
I would love to have a quad City Challenger!!!
You can fly any aircraft without a license until someone catches you.
catchmeifyoucan 😅
Look it up guy. You actually can. You got rules to follow but you can
you can fly any aircraft without a licence if you're brave enough.
A ground crewman did this, and then on purpose did all kinds of high skill moves in the air. He later killed himself by crashing. He wanted to go out doing something fun.
That's a brave idea

Ok dude
If you're dumb enough too
My brother bought a Rogallo hang glider glide ratio of 3:1 (death trap)
I certainly liked the Fly Nano I do hope they come down in price.
I have looked into ground effect planes too.
A regalo is not a death trap. You have to know a little bit about what you're doing that's about all.
@@bill-8794 He paid $200 USD yeah death trap.
It had been crashed and welded yep death trap. Hey NASA had entertained the idea of them so under optimal conditions i suppose.
huge props to anyone willing to fly one of these things
Also
I WANT HUMMEL ULTRACRUSER
Where can you buy them
I wonder whare to buy them
With my Kawi litre for juicy pulling...Lol
@@alfa5502 i wonder too
As do I. But, being a Brit, I would like a modified version. A few minor changes, particularly to the wings, and it could be made to look exactly like a scale version of the WWII Spitfire! It's most of the way there already.
Great video. Would like to have known their price and availability.
Was thinking that as well.
I've spent a decade designing a one-hand-commands-all ultralight helicopter, for I am convinced the brain is much better suited for single- than for multi-limb-fine-command -but I lack everything: money, workshop, tools... And my designs were in a notebook computer that finally gave up last year. So.... I haven't lost all hope, and continue to draw designs (starting with those for a simple lathe/mill composite) for when I can get some money and a workshop.
Love my QuickSilver!
Would be too scared to fly on my own. Great video.
Hi Matt, yeah I think that could be challenging without any experience.
lmao Matt Parr, are you a fan of Matt Parr?
I took a flight lesson. Flying and even takeoff is ridiculously easy but the landing is the hard part. Obviously I was flying a Cessna 172, which is easier, but it practically flew itself.
@@marco.9900 .... That a great plane for beginners, it's pretty much a flying tricycle 😆 . Landing my dads172 (tho I thot it was a 175) Cessna helped give me the confidence to attempt more complex planes . even tail staggers . that was a lifetime ago . I haven't flown,well piloted, in near 30 years now
@@Mr.CliffysWorld Cool!
I think in Germany you need a licence for everything. Definitely when it flies. If you go up in the air with a bunch of balloons in the hand, you need a licence.
so basically, fuck Germany.
Amazing people , with great ideas. See you in my next level. Thankyou.
Just look up "14 CFR Part 103.1 (FAR 103)"
Has to be a one seater, under 254lbs (empty) if it has an engine and 155lbs if it's a glider, can't have the capability to go over 55mph, can't be used commercially, and has to have 5 gallons or less fuel tank capacity. There are more restrictions, but those are the main ones.
You don't need a license to fly anything if you can get it off the runway fast enough :)
Hi I never look at replies lol, thanks for your comment. Hope you enjoyed the video 😊
that depends of the aircraft. Powermotoring just require about a 20 to 30 feet running start. I mean litterally.
@@BeyondFacts --You might be able to Outrun my Old Chevrolet but you can Outrun my Old 2-Way--Radio that is for you young Squirts....
@@randybeard6040 If you do a nose dive into the ground you can out run the radio.
@Biggus Dickus STEVIE, took the place in a helocopter that was supposed to be a roadie's ride,the pilot took off an smacked a hill or high area,and this clown was licensed,greatest loss to music,PERIOD
It would have been nice to mention the price and where to purchase the kits.
expensive. buy used.
These ultralight planes are awesome
Good stuff. You should do the cheapest safest airplanes out there. That will be cool. ✌🏽
Graças a Santos Dumont o mundo pode conhecer o avião. Esse gênio abriu mão dos direitos de invenção para que o mundo pudesse evoluir.
"You should note that the cockpit has no windshield." Literally the very next frame has a picture of it's windshield.
You can also construct your own plane, next frame a helicopter..
No, he's talking about the Mosquito Air which has no windshield. The next shot is of a Mosquito XE fuselage which does have a ws. Different models from the same manufacturer.
Yep, different models
@@cb-cj2ke maybe it's a module that comes a part from the plane, you have to pay an extra for the shield ?
No ws on the Air, it's a totally open cockpit. The XE comes with a ws.
Got your own field then so long as you take off and land on your own field your good to go :)
My Chotia Weed Hopper 277 is the best. Easy to fly, 100 ft. take off. 200 ft.landing. dependable 40 hp Rotax. Awesome. no licence .used $ 1500.00 in 2001.
At a minimum, the Quad City Challenger and Fly Nano are not Ultralight Aircraft, although a few others on this list may not be either. The Quad City Challenger can not be an ultralight due to it having multiple seats, and the Fly Nano exceeds speed regulations for ultralights.
They gotta be scary to fly. I guess it doesnt matter what you crash in if your going fast enough.
FOR THOSE WHO DON'T LIKE TO FLY W/O A PARACHUTE:
You should look into the PPC Ultralite!
P.owered P.ara C.hute ~ it's wing is just that. For those who ever thought it would work to jump off a roof with an umbrella, this actually does it. Good for 1 - 1Ø,ØØØ FT off the ground.
I like the hummel.
1-2 gals per hour
Great way to build time!
you should point out that probably only in the USA and very few other countries you can fly those things without a license. in most European countries you need even a license to fly paragliders... 😉
Light Sport Aircraft require a license in the U.S. Whoever did the research for this video is sloppy, confused or deceptive.
@@LoanwordEggcorn Not only that, but Ultralight aircraft can only carry the pilot, not any passengers. This video and a lot of this channel's videos are hot garbage.
In Europe you you can't breathe without license.
@@midnight69xx seriously, I hear they need a license to watch t.v
@@theTone559 I am from Europe. We need licences for most rediculous things, and only if you are not readily willing to kill corrupt cops. But we don´t need licences for plain lasers.
False. Quad City Challenger isn’t a part 103 aircraft. Do better research...
right it's not like the FAA doesn't have list of these available to the public
Interesting flying machines, they get better and more diverse year by year, especially the mini jets and all electric. One point of interest, I have always seen the term ‘aircraft’ is used whether one or many aircraft. Perhaps different terminology in the USA? Thank you for sharing your presentation.
the problem with electric is the weight penalty of the batteries
Ultra Cruiser looks good.. Nano ide keep on my boat
Just what we need, more people taking to the sky without formal training. Have you ever been on the freeways in the US?
Once again someone with no clue. No License doe not mean you do not have to follow FAA regulations. There is a thing called airspace. These can only be used in certain airspace. I think F is the one of them. There is a park near me which is perfect to fly, it is not ordained as populated, but it is barely in D airspace which means I have to contact the tower at an airport in Washington, MO. for permission to fly 20 miles away from the tower. the park is along side on I-70 which is the border of that airspace. However, 5 miles north and a mile to the west are parks where I can fly. However, there I am restricted in altitude. because B airspace has a zone where there commercial aircraft are are approaching. in that airspace those flight are far overhead because Lambert Int. Airport is about 35 miles away. I only fly up to 1500 feet.
@@salintium What? I'm well aware of the laws regulating airspace. Of course, anyone taking to the sky, regardless of credentials is supposed to abide by these rules. What does any of this have to do with my comment? I stand by it. Based on the behavior we see on a daily basis on our highways in the US, trusting the average dimwit to safely pilot a plane without any proof they've met the minimum requirements to do so, sounds like a bad idea. I'm really not saying you or many others without a license aren't perfectly capable pilots.
Maybe you should've included the range of these airplanes?
Hi Angel Vazquez, thanks for your comment. I'll make sure to include the range in the next video. Hope you enjoyed the video 🙂
Super interesting!!
