Good article. 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, :>).
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.
