ultralight aircraft have become the newest a viational trend of the 80s adapted from the hang glider this superlight machine is capable of flying one or two people with surprisingly low operating costs this puts the experience of recreational flying within the grasp of the average person the ultralights still resemble the origin al hang glider in 1977 a wisconsin man modified his existing hang glider by adding a 12horsepower gocart engine to the structure the idea immediately caught on and people throughout north america began to try this exciting method of flying today the ultralights have become considerably more sophisticated accord ing to mr weber who is microlites chief flying instructor through time things improve mr weber explained today the machines ha ve a stronger design are made with bet ter materials and have become more like airplanes with larger more dependable engines northern microlites located in claremont has been in the hang gliding and ultralight business for the past 12 years michael robertson owner and ori ginator of the company recognized the coming trend of ultralight flying in the late 70s and introduced a 20hour government approved flying course for beginners the company also builds hang gliders and assembles eipper aircraft quicksil ver model planes for sale the current models can fly at approx imately 40 to 50 mph with a range of 200 miles because virtually no takeoff space is needed the federal government have so far been unable to impose any flight reg ulations although the planes cannot fly within five miles of an airport mr weber said that ultralights are easy to operate and are extremely lightweight most models can be adapted to enclosed cockpits floats and skis since the average design weighs under 284 pounds the ultralights are not classi fied as aircraft and a pilots licence is not required however proper flight training and an airregulated test with the govern ment is mandatory ultralight flying attracts many kinds of people including seasoned pilots said mr an ultralite aircraft in flight weber because of the lack of rules and regulations northern microlites five in structors have taught over 1000 people how to fly the craft including everyone from married couples to a 75yearold jlormon priest he had wanted to fly since he was a child but until now he couldnt afford it explained mr weber he pointed out that it is expensive to fly or own a regular airplane but a good ultra light can be bought for about 7000 and carries approximately five gallons of gas it has a range of 200 miles the plane is can also land in any field mr weber occasionally flies the 10 miles to work in his quicksilver mx and parks it beside the building he loves to fly and says anyone who ex periences the ultralights will too it is probably the closest sensation to the dreamlike quality of flying explained mr weber he said he is never afraid to fly in the plane although ironically he is afraid of heights on a building you could fall down but in an airplane there is no chance of falling out or it breaking in half and falling out of the sky mr weber does admit the ultralight planes do depend on good windless weath er for safety because of their light weight he insists the planes are wellconstructed and points out that ultralight manufactur ers ha ve a qualitycontrol system to ensure safety the ultralights low weight and speed would reduce the amount of energy in volved in flying the plane he explained and the impact of a crash would be sub- tips on the tropics escape the winter blahs at a fashion workshop with a
