Those things do look like fun. I've seen small groups of them take off and land over by the airport in an unused area. I do not think you need any kind of license to use them. Not even a safe flying certificate! Is that correct? |
I'd avoid those things. Ultralights are (barely) flying death traps. They are usually homebuilt kits.
Those "aircrafts" usually need only a
Sports Pilots certificate which is less stringent to obtain and more restrictive on where and when you can operate.
