@@ultralightpilot99 I'm 43° latitude, so snow is not whether, but when. I do have someone that clears the runway, but my U/L's open cockpit limits my enthusiasm a bit. ;-)
@commentatron I am in Northeastern Pa. I have flown 12 months out of a year. But in January and February it can be very cold. I flew once when it was too cold, and I started shaking. Then you know it's too cold to be enjoyable.
Which do you prefer for your hayfield, the T-bird tail dragger or the Quicksilver tricycle gear? I'm in the same part of the country as you (NW of Binghamton) and would also be flying out of our hayfield. Need to get some training first ... and an airplane! Considering a Quicksilver, Aerolite or T-bird. Tnx for the videos!
@HardtimeGardner I have hundreds of hours in my Quicksilver ultralight and am more comfortable in it. It's a tricycle gear and easy to steer on the ground. It flys slower than the T-bird ultralight. Which made it a good airplane to learn to fly in. I wanted to get conventional landing gear experience, the t-bird also flys faster. I have been flying the T-bird this summer, I just haven't recorded any videos. You will enjoy flying, be safe.
@HardtimeGardner I dd it the hard way and taught myself. I did crow hops in a hay field until I was ready to take off. My landings were hard. If you look at my early videos you will see how my skill progressed.You could always take lessons in a n-numbered airplane(registered)
MAY GOD BLESS YOU UP THERE BROTHER!!👍
I'm about to purchase one of these
Old people on medcare nice opening..thanks bye 👋
I don't have control of the ads that appear before my videos play.
Looks like a lot of fun. What's winter got in store for your neck of the woods? Will you be having some snow/cold down time in your future?
If my runway gets snow on it I will be done flying. I am hoping for a mild winter.

@@ultralightpilot99 Thanks for the reply! I have been leaning toward a QS. Where did you get your flight training? Nearest I have found is in Ohio.
