Ultralight finds my lost RC Plane
By
One of our club members owns an ultra light and was gracious enough to assemble it at the field and searched the nearby corn field, ultimately finding my lost RC plane.

I wouldn’t teach anyone younger than 14. I don’t believe there is an age requirement however.

July 4th, 2009 at 3:48 am

Is it a VOLARE ultralight?

Actually, as long as the plane qualifies as an ultralight (less than 254 lbs, 5 galons of gas or less, and max level speed of 55 knots) you are not required to have a license.
I would not, however, advise anyone to take a machine up in the air without some training, usually 7 to 10 hours.

Yeah, you do. Espically if you want to continue alive. The FAA isn’t going to let people kill themselves without the propper qualification.

i have a question… do you have to have some sort of a pilot’s license or any kind of trainings before you could own and fly an ultralight? just wondering…

Thanks for the compliment. Once the hang glider pilot located a plane, he would circle in the general area while and point downwards to where the rc plane was located to the person awaiting in the corn field.
