Gryphon said:Has anyone here flown an ultralight that they either built or bought? I'm curious, and want to try it myself. If so, whats your favorite?
Quicksilver is one of the ones on my list, ngsp... also the titan tornado looks appealing. I have a Kitplane mag somewhere with over 100 different ultralights.. gotta find that thing again.ngsp said:I hae owned 24 ultralight and light experimental aircraft in the past 20years. i have flown over 2500 hours in them and also fly airliners. i would say without a shadow of a doubt that the quicksilver gt-400 is the finest flying ultralight on the market today. i just ordered a new one and it arrives tuesday. if you are ever in atl, post a message. i will show you a few different models and let you fly one for yourself. do a google on quicksilver g-400 and check it out.

ngsp said:where are you located? i can find you a local instructor in just about any area. the best ultralight style airplane out there is the quickilver IIS. if you want an enclosed cockpit, i would suggest the quicksilver gt-500. the most open cockpit would be a drifter xp. i sold my titans and i am building a new quicksilver gt-400. it is the best single seater available today. the titan is a great plane and i have built 4 of them, but they are still on the general aviation side. i miss the low and slow open cockpit flying. if you want a plane with folding wings, i would suggest the kolb mark III. if you are looking for something cheap, look at the x-air standard. i built one with a jabiru engine and loved it. i would suggest the R582 if you are on a budget. the x-air is built in india and spare parts can be challenging, but the entire airplane is less than 18k.
