I see the need for controllers to create patterns for slow aircraft. This need has been written by the FAA somewhere, but I don't remember where right now. The...
I can't wait to see what "Fat" Ultralights will still be sold as Far-103 ultralights like quicksilver and phantom. There's no-way I'd go from a Kitfox or Hawk...
Around these parts, we usually use a smaller and lower pattern for UL: type planes. The smaller pattern gets you around the circuit in a time period similar to...
I have another question about helmets. I have Telex headsets for GA use, and I wonder if there are any helmets that could be used with them? - Dan Cooper...

I use an HJC CS-2 Flat Black with my Telex headset and cut out a thin band across the top of the styrofoam for the headset strap to fit into. These helmets...
... Looks like a possibility. They say it has zip-out earflaps. Do you zip it out to clear the headset? Can you use a faceplate with it? - Dan Cooper...
You know it would be real nice if somebody could explain to me why all you chicken littles are running around yelling that the sky is falling. All your FAT ULs...
Hi Dan, You can purchase helmets from Comtronics Engineering http://www.comtronicsengineering.com/ that has a cutout for GA type headsets. I have two of them...
I use the earflaps to help add noise reduction. The Telex headset offers very little of that. There is no face shield for that helmet, nor for any of the 1/2...
You know, looking at the subject line, it appears that the petition weighs 330 pounds. Knowing how the government works this is believable. *big grin*...
I am not an expert in audio electronics, but I understand that ultralight two cycle engines produce a different noise frequency than that of GA four stroke...
Hi Mike, Even though I've been flying Ul's for 16 years, last summer was the first time I ever flew into Ionia. No excuse as it is only 23 miles from home. I...
... Here's a problem that will develop post-SP: as more and more UL's convert and get N-Numbered, the non registered UL's will stick out more and more.... Dave...
Cal, I believe the current thinking is that now that a way to become compliant exists, the FAA will expect you to be compliant and will increase enforcement...
It goes by the baseline weight of 254, then it gives you added weight for .... brakes, etc... like the chute deal. You have to have all the extras to get the...
In my opinion, the FAA will start ramp checking and issuing fines as soon as SP is complete and in place because they will now say they have created a legal...
There always was the ability to be compliant. Only buy or build a 103 legal craft. As to the "Just Fly" attatude being too simplistic for this day and age. ...

Hay Ron, I live in Cuttlerville about 40 min. from Ionia.With the new M6 it cut out about 20 min. off the drive.I'v past by the airport several times.I...
Jeffrey, You need not worry, Part-103 is going to still be around. As far as 615 pounds gross weight, that might be a problem. My Apex, with me and an...
I guess you are the kind of man to agree with what everybody else says.....Huh? Hey if something happens for the good I'll be a Happy camper, but if it don't...
Jay, I'm talking about the weight of the petition itself not the weight of the aircraft....errr vehicle. With all the paperwork necessary don't you think the...
But thats the point, between my weight and my planes weight, I either have to go SP or give it up, and giving it up will probably come first because I can't...
