As I recall, Ultralights do not have to follow rules. If there are any they are few and not like the rules for "real" aircraft. I too remember 500 feet and 1000' above ground level limits like Long Bay Guy for controlled aircraft. There are always changes, area restrictions and other considerations. What about it Kevin?

What rules do the TV helicopters run by that allows them to get low in many areas? Taking pictures by air of Lake activities and sightseeing are not uncommon. Low flying ultralights are not uncommon, I have been buzzed by a few while on the beach.
