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

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.

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.
