The new real 3axis. ultralight Euro flying

Postby okflyer » Tue Jun 14, 2016 9:15 am

Europe has introduced a new ultralight flying class.
Not the mtow is limited but the weight of the plane (120 Kg. including petrol). Apart from the maximum amount of petrol, one seater only and a certain minimum wing size (wing load) the class is quite deregulated.
No registration or medical is required. The license is unlimited and requires no minimum hours.
A nice example of already available planes are the SD-1 http://www.sdplanes.com/new and the Weller Rebell http://www.weller-flugzeugbau.de/node/14/85
