Thanks for dropping by our new blog site. Our goals are to develop this site and the main Microlight Wings web site into the ultimate microlight/ultralight emporium of online news, reviews, interviews and most importantly purposefully developed training material and software for the venturesome microlight enthusiast.

OH how I wish I had video or even some photographs of the construction phase. This was built before YouTube existed and sharing ideas became so easy. I didn’t even own a camera back then! I learned my lesson and now take the time to document things better…
That would be a ‘82 or ‘83 Eipper Quicksilver mx?… Not exactly a homemade, But a production kit plane. And, in that sense I suppose it could be called a homebuilt. (The quiet motor is probably a Cuyuna.)
you can fly an ultralight on a drivers license but you couldn’t obviously go into class charlie or bravo airspace unless you had a transponder because that is highly controlled airspace i.e. very busy airports
