Thank you for posting. I got an intro to ultralights from Tom in September 2019 and bought my Aerolite kit through him. The custom fuel tank looks sharp.
Yeah, most of them land 103 like they’re flying a twin engine and they’ve got to fly the thing onto the runway, craziest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.😂
Great video nice aircraft ! One thing I need to say is SCAN for traffic, most time your eyes are looking forward never losing forward site. Think about this if another aircraft PIC is doing same as you, that would be bad outcome. Again nice video, be safe !
Yes, a very distinctive color scheme and love the seat/fuel tank combo. Difficult to watch due to the camera angle and position. Where did you find that fuel tank?
What year is your ultralight. I have aerolite 103 but I have that same tank .Is your throttle like a motorcycles. Mine is all black and with purple accents on my tail and wings.lioks good .what engine do you use.
What year is that ? lol I have one with same exact seat gas tank purple also plane is all black with purple accent on wings and tail and nose cone purple. I want to name it 'THE NIGHT FLYER" AFTER THE MOVIE awesome! Mines a 2006 with new 440 kawasaki engine ITS A POWERHOUSE very quick throttle response. Getting ready to break it in . my way lol Nice plane love it . getting a Mosquito AIR next after things get better. well happy flying.
Nice video. I have never flown ultralights, think I may build one. In a C172 we don’t use flaps on take off except in grass short field or floats. I am curious, I noticed you used flaps on take off on a paved runway, is that necessary in ultralights?
@Bill Smith I was used to 10* flaps for take at on grass strips at Magnetawan Airstrip Ontario and on floats then flew from Brampton Ontario for a check ride on a paved runway. I selected 10* flaps for take off and was questioned why I would do such a thing by the check ride pilot. I know some pilots use flaps on take off but it really isn’t necessary on a long paved runway in a C172.
@Bill Smith yes I do. In downwind leg I reduce power to about 1600 rpm before turning base, below 100kt select 10* flaps and turn on base. Slow airspeed to 65kts then select 20* flaps at 500 ft agl turn final and approach about 55-60. Love your plane and video, great talking to you.
Hey Steven! Great video and love the Purple Rain color. I'm up in Loudoun and looking to take the plunge into Ultralights. Did you have prior flight experience? Did you undergo any specific training to fly your ultralight? Thx, from a new subscriber!

Love your videos, so relaxing. Keep them coming. Great looking bird!
I just purchased one of these, awesome plane, just haven't flown it yet due to surgery. Maybe before winter!
FINALLY!! Someone that lands the correct way in an ultralight!! Power off, nose down and flair!!
Yeah, most of them land 103 like they’re flying a twin engine and they’ve got to fly the thing onto the runway, craziest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.😂
Thank you.

Sick color bruh

2017, Rotax 503
Great clip!
How well does the Aerolite 103 handle a stall ?
Very nicely.
Do you need to communicate with the tower?
If it's a tower controlled airport you do, otherwise no, just like any other airplane.
Not at the class D.
They need to raise the weight limitation for ultra-lights they would be safer and far more realistic
I concur 100 percent!
I can't move my neck anymore
Very Nice

Can you tell me what type of gas tank that is? Thank you
A seat tank from the original style

Which engine do you have? Beautiful landing by the way.
Rotax 503

Yes
So this guy has electric flaps?, looks like you backed off the throttle after deployment, is it a big difference in stall speed?.
Yes
Stall speed 27 mph
Sometimes it's purple, sometimes it's pink, sometimes it's blue, sometimes it's pink...
Lol. Purple
