Comments on: Lip service https://texas-flyer.com/lightflight-pdfs/LightFlight/2007/08/lip-service/ A reader blog about flying ultralights with Robert Laird Tue, 03 May 2011 14:39:32 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.8.2 By: Mike https://texas-flyer.com/lightflight-pdfs/LightFlight/2007/08/lip-service/#comment-183 Thu, 16 Aug 2007 19:36:35 +0000 https://texas-flyer.com/lightflight-pdfs/LightFlight/2007/08/lip-service/#comment-183 It’s pretty tough to learn to fly an ultralight if you’re a big guy also. most single place UL’s won’t carry a guy like me. This wole SLA/ESLA field has taken away the sport for me. I was going to learn, and buy a two place that could carry my large (read FAT) frame and have plenty of capacity to spare. I was looking forward to the time when I could spend a day, or part of a day enjoying the world from a few hundred feet up. I guess that won’t happen now.

Thanks for saying what needed to be said.

I am still bitter about the EAA who drove the LSA thing along with the FAA. Of course I have forgivne them. However, it has killed ultralights therefor that is why I have gone back to GA and quit eveything to do with the EAA. If I am back to being mandated by the FAA I might as well be a GA guy again until I flunk my physical. One exception, my Baby Ace, :>).

Hope you are doing well Robert!
