From: bd5er@... ... Here's a MUCH better idea: Make 103 even better than it currently is by including more of the very light single-seat "ultralight-type"...
At present my projecr does include safety equipment such as an electric start and brakes and will meet the 254# rule but it will not have folding wings nor tri...

Mark I am NOT picking sides on this one. I have been building aircraft since 1968. I can understand why the DAR thinks that way. OK, when he signs your...
My take is that many of those things are not up to him. As long as we can show the plane was built per manufacturer requirements as in a kit or to UL standards...
Just a quick reminder that the 2003 Indiana Ultralight Safety Seminar will be held this Saturday, March 8th at Our Lady of Grace Church, 9000 East 191st Street...
The NPRM doesn't prohibit you from flying in foreign countries. But the certificate will say "Holder does not meet ICAO requirements". I wonder if this will...

Jim S had mentioned on this forun that we would have our own guys in place for this. I have seen nothing that says this though. It would make sense, but then...

Sounds good Jim. Thanks for the fast reply. The only problem I see if its modeled after the AB DAR program, then none of us in the know about ULs will be...

Yes, I am part of the Ultralight team as I write for the Experimenter. SP is an addition to all our programs and support. It doesn't replace anything. If you...
Why didn't the EAA just ask the FAA to help them enforce the part 103 rules? If part 103 was ran the way it should be then there would be not need for this...
The EAA is NOT nor cannot be an enforcer of FAA rules but is a defender of pilot privileges, safety, and rights. The ultralight builders, owners and flyers...
It seems the real issue is the "excempted trainer". Which I agree with. As the SP-LSA will be at least in part, a SFAR for at least 24 mo., we need to work...

Mark, What is your definition of factory made planes? I consider your planes and parts factory made. They just come from a much smaller and better factory than...
