Likely the safest ultralight out there, if it helps.

Me too! I'm loving the 1/2 VW much more than the screaming ROTAX engines.

That looks like a blast. If I ever build an ultralight, this one is at the top of the list.

That 1/2 Volks sounds like is has really good compression.

Nice work, I've been looking at the legal eagle and the affordaplane. Not sure whitch I want to build. Maybe neither since I think it might be nice for the wings to fold.

Building the LEXL right now. Have my ppl, and this thing is a proper airplane in every respect. The direct drive 4 stroke power is decisive in my opinion.

Is that a handle hanging down between the wings? Be sure there is adequate room so you don’t impale your noggin on it in the event of a sudden stop.

Nice flight, but how did the wind screen get broken? And that fuel discoloring the fabric is not good. First flight HUH. The wing covering looks used and not freshly painted, odd things for a first flight I think. Looks like some real fun to be had flying your ultralight. Thanks for posting.

The windscreen came to me like this. Yes it was my first flight in this plane. The fabric is in great overall condition.

Gosh, I wonder if it possibly could be HIS first flight in the aircraft, and not the aircraft's maiden flight? Huh??

I'm sorry. Couldn't you put a cushion on that seat. It makes my butt hurt looking at the mesh. Other than that it's very cool.

Curious about your GoPro head strap and microphone setup. I fly a powered parachute and am trying to hook my comtronics headset up to my GoPro Hero 7 black so I can have audio for my videos. Please let me know if you have any pointers or ideas, thank you.

@Flockaduck 3 месяца назад
This is just a simple head mount strap with a stock GoPro camera. No additional microphones or anything fancy.

An illusion of the camera. It's not wobbling around like that IRL.

Head mounted cams have their purpose. Good to see pilot actions and what they see and do. He has another that isn't.

Nice build! I assume you are aware that if you put streamline covers on the struts your climb rate almost doubles. For a "first flight" you seem comfortable over LOTS of trees, miles from the runway. Be careful out there.
@Flockaduck
@Flockaduck 8 месяцев назад
This is my third ultralight so I have lots of hours in a CGS Hawk and some in a J3 Kitten. Where I live, we have trees everywhere so that is just a fact of life.
